The knot motif has a long tradition in cultural history. Even the Celts regarded an elaborate knot as a symbol of the bond between two people. But this tradition was still maintained in Victorian times, albeit in a modified form: A wide variety of knot motifs were titled "lover's knot", love knots, and added a subtle symbolic layer to all kinds of pieces of jewellery. This pair of earrings also makes the knot the main motif. Each composed of two smooth gold bands, the gold knots appear almost textile-like. A shiny gold ball occupies their center. A long element is suspended below, which gently swings when moved. Earrings of the period were generally made hollow. Despite its length of more than five centimetres, this pair is extremely light and comfortable to wear. They are now waiting to take on a second life with us. We discovered this fine Victorian pair in London.
