Did you know that getting married is also described in English by the expression "to tie the knot"? This probably has its roots in the ancient archaic customs and rituals surrounding marriage. The Celts and other Nordic peoples symbolically tied the hands of the bride and groom together with a ribbon. This "handfasting" can sometimes still be found at free weddings today. Perhaps this is why knots have been symbols of love since time immemorial. They indissolubly bind the lovers together and thus stand for the eternal duration of the feeling. Due to the possibility of redesigning the knot to suit the taste and fashion of the time, the motif of the love knot has always remained current and has been taken up again and again. This wonderful brooch, which was created at the end of the 19th century, shows such a love knot as a simple band of 22 sparkling rose-cut diamonds. The surface of the silver brooch sparkles with the brilliance of diamond roses; two small oriental pearls are set at the ends of the band. The back of the brooch and the pin are made of gold, which prevents the silver from rubbing off on light-colored clothing. In gemlore, the language of precious stones, the diamond stands for eternity and the pearl symbolizes innocent love. A romantic piece with a knot that tightens, never to be untied again!
