The use of a knot as a symbol of love has been used in jewellery since ancient times. The old saying "Tying the knot" comes from a tradition in some cultures where the couples hands are bound together during the ceremony to symbolise their binding love.
I like the idea that this is a knot to represent all types of love, self love, romantic love, friendship love, maternal love. Giving this gift to yourself or to someone else to show the depth of your love.
This piece has been hallmarked in Birmingham and comes with an authenticity hallmark card, detailing the marks and their meaning.
The love knot is not made in my workshop, but is made by one of my partners in a workshop in England.
SIZE
Solid Bangle: 3cm (300mm) opening and the thickness of the wire is 3.5mm. Adjustable to fit all sizes, gently push sides together or apart to tighten or loosen.
MATERIALS
Silver: Solid sterling silver.
Gold: Solid sterling silver - plated in responsibly sourced and ethical 24ct Gold.
My gold pieces are classed as Vermeil, this means that the base metal is Sterling Silver and there has been 2.5 microns of 24ct gold deposited on its surface. I plate my rings to 5 microns as they see more wear and tear.
Vermeil gold is the hardest wearing gold plate as it has such a high minimum deposit required. However it will still naturally fade over time, especially in high pressure areas such as where the jump ring sits on the chain. Please read how to prolong the life of your gold jewellery here. I offer a re-plating service which you can find out about here.
