Three-colour button knot bracelet

The button knots on this bracelet are all single button knots tied with one end of a cord around two different coloured cords.

Good luck knot

Chinese knots are considered to be tokens of love and affection. This good luck knot, like many of its fellow knots, should bring extra good fortune to the lucky wearer as well as to the giver of the knot.

Plafond knot necklace

The beautiful, handmade fused-glass pendant used for this necklace is complemented by the dark blue satin cord, the neat square plafond knot and the beads and button knots on the sides. A perfect combination!

King Solomon’s plait necklace

The medieval name for King Solomon’s knot is ‘the Emblem of Divine Inscrutability’, indicating that at that time, knots did indeed symbolise philosophical meanings.

Horizontal figure of eight chain necklace

The figure of eight pattern is one of the twelve elementary Celtic knots.

Celtic cross

This cross is made with two different coloured cords, the tan colour starts at the top of the design and the rust coloured cord starts at the bottom of the cross and becomes part of the necklace.

Josephine knot necklace

This is an ancient Celtic knot that has been popular for thousands of years. It can be found in various cultures, each of which has a different name for the knot.

Chain knot

This necklace is made of chain knots, made with two cords instead of the more usual one. This makes it much more stable and attractive.
