A so-called Lover's Knot, a love knot of three artfully intertwined circles of gold, forms the body of the brooch here. In the center sparkles a natural ruby in a beautiful faceted cut weighing about 0.30 carats. With the rich gold tone of the additional fine gold-plated yellow gold, a warm colour composition results. The knot is one of the oldest and most eloquent motifs of connection: as indissoluble as this, so should be the connection between two people in friendship or love. That is why the knot motif in jewellery is also called "True Lover's Knot". The motif has been known in this meaning for centuries, but it experienced a renaissance in the 19th century as part of the preference for symbolically charged jewellery. In its design and materiality, the brooch is a very typical piece of jewellery of the late 19th century. It was once primarily intended to adorn the center of the collar of a high-necked blouse (cf. the last illustration, from a fashion illustration of 1888). Today, it is also well-suited to the lapel or side of a blouse or coat. Thanks to its timeless design and restrained format, it can also be combined well with the modern wardrobe.

Knots are already known symbols of love since the Middle Ages, indeed, since ancient times. 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 all times according to the tastes and fashions of the time, this motif has always remained current and has been revisited again and again.
