    This beautiful clasp or collar pin was a piece of men's jewelry designed for tying ties or scarves. Often made of silver and called guimbardes in Vendée, these buckles were generally simpler, consisting of a simple ring with a silver pin. In Normandy and Poitou, these rings are sometimes decorated with twin hearts and topped with a seven-pearl crown for the oldest and most beautiful. This jew's harp became very popular after the French Revolution, as it was a religious and ideological reference point, the intertwined hearts symbolizing unity and fidelity, and the crown, royalty and honor. Large sets are preserved at the Musée des Arts et Traditions populaires in Paris, and at the museums of Niort, Poitiers and Fontenay-le-Comte. A similar example is shown on page 175 of Brigitte Bouret's book "Bijoux et Orfèvres en Haute-Normandie au XIXe siècle", and a few examples are shown on page 82 of Claudette Joannis' book "Bijoux des Régions de France".
    This collar clasp bears a fleur-de-lys, in use from 1819 to 1832, and a great dane's head looking to the right.
