Trending 14 Carat Fancy Bar Lover's Knot Link Chain Pro Version [v6UfEuCY]

A solid fourteen carat gold bar and knot link necklace.  This is a super quality, long, well made and rare chain. The design features a long solid bar connected by two small links either side to a lovers knot. Knots like this share their historical roots that cut across cultures and eras, with an intricate design that resembles an intertwined knot. It has remained a widely used devotional symbol, connecting the past and present in ways that capture the enduring quality of interpersonal bonds.

The idea of the lover's knot originated in ancient societies, when knots were commonly understood to represent eternity, loyalty, and interconnectedness. Knots were used to symbolize the connection between life and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian amulets and ceremonial objects. They were also accepted as a symbol of infinity and unbreakable bonds in Celtic and Greek traditions.

Given that it was commonly seen in the form of knotted gold and silver bands, the particular lover's knot motif is believed to have originated in ancient Greek jewelry. Couples frequently traded these items as symbols of their love and devotion, binding them in a similar manner to how their true love was "bound" to one another. In order to cement their love, engaged couples would exchange rings with symbolic knots throughout the Roman Empire.

This is a very high quality and rare chain. It has a good weight to it while remaining delicate, weighing just over nineteen grams, and is just over thirty inches in length, so a very comfortable size. Given its length there is no need for a clasp. However, as is the way with good quality chains, there is a clasp. It has a very well designed and high quality tongue clasp with the added security of having a safety catch on the side. 

This is a gorgeous chain. If you are looking for something of a good length, fine, but detailed, this chain will fit the bill, and will make for a romantic gift with the knot symbolism. Stamped "14K Italy" on the underside of the clasp.

Made in Italy, circa 1970's.
