This pair of earrings dates back to Victorian England. They are in the form of so-called Lover's Knots or love knots, each consisting of four artfully intertwined gold bands. Knots have been well-known symbols of love since the Middle Ages, indeed since antiquity. They indissolubly bind the lovers together and thus stand for the eternal duration of the feeling. Due to the possibility of redesigning the knot in different eras according to the taste and fashion of the time, this motif has always remained current and has been taken up again and again. Around 1900, jewellery made of intertwined ribbons with shiny gold surfaces was once again very fashionable in Great Britain. Bracelets, necklaces and brooches with this motif were created - as well as earrings like these. Relatively small earrings like these were appropriate for everyday wear and can be seen in many photographs of the time. Thanks to their light, warm colours and their format, the earrings are also ideal for daytime wear - just as they were intended to be when they were created.
