Van Cleef & Arpels lovers knot cocktail ring set in 18kt twisted yellow gold, made circa 1970s during the golden age of French jewelry design.
We love our heavy statement knot ring.
Knots are a common theme in jewelry design. The symbolism behind the act of tying a knot is one of binding.
Thus it is no surprise that it became a metaphor for one’s commitment towards love in different cultures. The association of knots with love has appeared in many different cultures since ancient times. These include ancient Greek jewelry, Egyptian sculptures, and Celtic knots. In ancient Arabia, lovers used love knots to send messages to each other. The Celtic knots consist of unbroken loops with no beginning and end, symbolizing eternity like the love between a married couple.
Who hasn’t getting married referred to as “tying the knot”?
This recurring theme has its roots in a deep meaning of love and commitment. When two things are knotted together, they are inseparable and unbreakable. This is why knots are often used to symbolize love and unity.
