The Herakles Knot (Herakleotikon hamma) has been used for jewellery since at least the Hellenistic (Greek) Age [323-30 BCE] and has remained popular throughout time. Inherited from the Egyptians, for whom it had an amuletic (protective) role, it became popular as a marriage symbol. The Greeks used it frequently on the bride's protective girdle, securely fastening it until the groom untied it after the wedding - possibly where the term "tying the knot" arose! The unbreakable knot still symbolises the strength of true love. This ring has been handcrafted from Sterling Silver (925/1000). Size = O Also available in Pure Copper or 14K Yellow and Red Gold. |
