This Medium Byzantine Slider is breathtaking enough to wear when a more formal presentation is required, or it can be worn more casually. The 14K gold knot work overlaid on antiqued sterling silver exudes a richness in its seamless perfection. Of the many pieces that Helen, the designer, has made, this is certainly her favorite, the one she'll wear to work or to the Santa Fe opera. This is a piece of jewelry you may just fall in love with. It slides on a bold 3mm handwoven Etruscan chain. Handmade in Helen's Santa Fe, NM studio. (Shown on a 4mm chain - Please call for pricing on this option)

Meaning of knots

Scroll:

This rectangular knot symbolizes the development of personal foundations and structures that are complex yet functional. Within the straight edges, the triangular motifs and central, curvy design suggests the integration of complex and dynamic movement into a harmonious flowing whole.

Shannon Knot:

This knot, with its crisscrossing form, is oval in shape. The knot within the oval is harmonious. Ovals are about community and also creativity. If you consider the different strands as energy, then you see how in this knot, movement is endless throughout the pattern, always the same from any angle.

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.
