Gold Double Reef Knot Ring
An 18 carat gold ring designed as a double reef knot, very likely a gentlemans ring. The piece bears British hallmarks, circa 1903. Vivienne Becker notes: “The knot of various forms and designs has been a recurring motif in jewellery since antiquity, when Greek goldsmiths crafted jewels in the shape of the knot of Hercules. The Victorians in particular revived the knot motif as the lovers knot, signifying the indissoluble bonds of love and commitment. An eternally modern theme.”
