Meaning of Knot

  Swirl:

This motif originated in what is now Italy, Hungary and Germany 2300 years ago, yet the design is strikingly contemporary. It shows the spiral, which has always symbolized growth, gathering into a circle. To use, it suggests the curl of a plant's stem or root, or the path of a river. No one can be certain as to what it means, but to us, it seems to symbolize the fertility and fecundity. The wave-like pattern, with its ease and curl, also represents a power that is unstoppable and relentless.

Designer Information

Helen Chantler
Lead Designer & Co-founder


From an early age, traveling the world, I saw how art, craft and creativity brought beauty into everyday life. Jewelry, as adornment, has been an expression of art and culture, that can range from the legendary to the personal and intimate, marking occasions and holding memories.

Remembering the ancient Celtic stories and legends I grew up with in the UK brought me back to my tribal ancestry. Celtic design comes out of reverence for the earth and generations of tribal tradition. From this place, I have tried to bring contemporary style to motifs that are ancient and meaningful. I view my business as a community that must benefit human communities without harming ecosystems which is why I am pleased we work with 100% recycled metals and, when ever possible, ethically sourced gemstones.
