He gave her knots instead of flowers, something she could keep long after the roses on her dressing table had faded. She fastened the gold earrings and turned to let him see, their engraved curves catching the afternoon light. Later, when she put them away, she tucked his little note into the box beneath them.

Dating to around 1900, these Victorian love knot drop earrings combine warm 9 karat gold with engraved ornament, adding another layer of interest to their intertwined forms. Their generous proportions give the knots a lovely sculptural presence, with each earring measuring 38 millimeters long, 18.5 millimeters across and 14.5 millimeters deep overall. Together they weigh 5.4 grams. They bear no marks and have been tested as 9 karat gold.

There is something wonderfully affectionate about a love knot, its entwined shape expressing so much without a single word. These would make a beautiful gift for someone dear, or an equally lovely indulgence for yourself, a pair of golden knots to carry into your own next chapter.
