Many of you may recall my Handfasting Bracelet: the design based on the shape of the Mariner’s Knot combining two separate strands of rope of cord to create a knot stronger than the sum of its parts. This design was based on a ring I developed many years ago that I have called the Traditional Lover’s Knot Ring.

Many have purchased this lover’s knot for Handfastings, Weddings or a simple “promise” ring of love and devotion.

In the creating of this design you will note that the knot appears as two separate strands on the tome yet behind the ring (the shank) one may note that it is indeed a single strand. Because of the desire of theme and variation, I have also created a “Celtic” version, by creating a twist of the knot, perhaps representing the twists and turns of the lives shared through one’s life.

If you wish I can also add an inscription to the inside of the ring to make it more personal, just as I also create the rings at any size needed, even for those who find rings difficult to find because of ones unusual size: each ring is treated with care and consideration: each ring made specially one at a time.
