This design shows intersecting triangular points. Triangles are about the focusing of direction and intent toward a specific goal. In this knot, however, the triangles oppose each other which create a kind of balance. This symbolizes dynamic creativity forming a greater holistic, harmonious pattern.

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.
