The use of knots for the symbolism of love and friendship dates back to antiquity. This particular type of ring is often called the "true lover's knot", and was a popular ring style for sailors separated from their beloved.   It's made by interlocking two overhand knots. This ring was beautifully made in London circa 1859, and crafted of buttery 18 karat yellow gold with a bright and sparkly Old Mine Cut Diamond in the center and flanked by two rose cut diamonds. The traditional knot symbol was enhanced in this particular ring as all the diamonds are set in hand carved starburst settings, providing extra celestial sparkle to the look. We love to wear this ring as a statement piece, as well as paired with other favorite rings.
