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. Thanks to the possibility of redesigning the knot in every era according to the taste and fashion of the time, this motif has always remained current and has been taken up again and again. This pair of earrings comes from Victorian England and follows this tradition. Created around 1880, they take the form of so-called "lover's knots" - artfully intertwined ribbons. The pair comes from a time when fashion was changing very quickly. In 1890, just ten years after its creation, small earrings or completely bare earlobes were all the rage. The earrings made of low-carat gold are in very good condition. We discovered them in London.

Knot shapes are popular elements in jewelry design. Not only do they offer the most beautiful twists, especially on metal surfaces, which can reflect the striking light in wonderful different ways, so that light and shadow model the shapes and give them plasticity. Above all, pieces of jewelry with knots as motifs of loyalty and solidarity have always been popular gifts.
