19th century jewellery often conveyed romantic messages. Its shapes and materials could convey symbolic meanings that could be easily deciphered by contemporaries. This bracelet also makes use of this form of communication, as its top features three artfully intertwined knots. In fact, it appears as if the bracelet consists of a double rope of gold that has been intertwined at regular intervals to form large knots. The two outer knots are also set with a pearl and the middle knot with a diamond. Knots are certainly the most immediately catchy symbols of connection and love. Numerous examples of this have been handed down from classical antiquity. Knots are part of a love spell in the Papyri Graecae Magicae IV, 296ff. and were part of the Roman marriage ceremony as the so-called Hercules knot. In Victorian times, "Lover's Knots" were almost ubiquitous, and they became particularly fashionable in the years c. 1900. Numerous surviving pieces of jewellery vary the theme, but only rarely is it as finely and elegantly executed as here. The pearls as an attribute of Venus, the goddess of love, and the diamond as a stone of eternity add to the message of the knots. We discovered the bangle in London. It has been preserved in what is probably its original case from the London jeweller J. W. Benson.
