Hercules Knot Necklace
THE DESIGN STORY
The Hercules knot is an ancient symbol rich with meaning, most notably representing undying love and marriage commitment. In antiquity, it was believed to be the knot tied at a bride's girdle - one that only her groom could untie - its bound ends signifying a union that could not be broken.
This gold-plated Hercules Knot pendant reimagines the enduring motif asa sculptural necklace, suspended from an adjustable black cord necklace for versatile, everyday wear. Throughout Greek and Roman art, the Hercules Knot came to symbolise strength, protection, and unity. Its association with the legendary hero Heracles (Hercules) led to its use as a protective amulet, believed to ward off evil spirits and aid in healing. The modern phrase "tying the knot" is thought to originate from this ancient wedding custom.
