Pair of steel shoe buckles set with oval or "spoon-shaped" paste stones, also sometimes called "brilliants," around a rectangular silver frame. The hinged steel chapes and tongues of the buckles have modern sleeves of black velvet covering them.

The wooden case is covered with dark brown leather; its lid is arched and hinged to the box at the back, with a pair of metal latches at the front; it is lined with white satin; a cardboard divider creates separate compartments for each buckle.
