Algerian Love Knot
After seeing Casino Royale, people commented on the necklace worn by Bond girl Vesper. The necklace is an Algerian love knot designed by Sophie Harley, but the bad news is the price puts it out of reach of most of us.
Algerian Love Knot - what is a love knot?
A love knot was originally a complicated knot tied by sailors to remind them of the bond with their loved ones when away from home. Typically consisting of two pieces of rope bound together, they were thought to possess much good luck for anyone who could tie them.
In the 18th century it became popular for people to draw intricate patterns during courtship. The more complicated the design, the more that person loved. These also became known as love knots, or lover's knots.
A love knot in jewelry terms is made of three or more intertwined loops of metal that are flattened after being assembled together. Vesper's Algerian Love Knot is made of 4 rings of metal with an intricate Arabic design.
