14K Yellow Gold Lovely Love Knot Post Earrings
Regular price
$420.00
The design is also known as the marriage or Hercules knot, and thought of as a protective amulet in Greece and Rome. It was also incorporated into protective girdles worn by brides, which is a likely origin for the phrase “tie the knot”. The knot has been an emblem of love and constancy of the lover’s bond, as the pattern is completely continuous.
Tracing the roots of the love-knot pattern reveals no specific beginning either, as it has been found in Celtic artwork, ancient Egyptian carved sculptures, and ancient Greek jewelry. It was also incorporated into protective girdles worn by brides, which is a likely origin for the phrase “tie the knot”.
In much of the literature and folklore on sailors and life at sea, the lover’s knot makes a regular appearance. It was apparently commonly used by sailors as a wedding ring tied with gold wire.
