Meaning of Knots

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.

  Rope:

Our rope knot is one of most popular motifs. Two lines of silver or gold criss-cross together in an endless, harmonious pattern. Each line which makes this knot represents a particular perspective, and holds a clear sense of direction and ease working with its mate. This is perhaps the most basic of all the Celtic motifs, and it represents a pattern that is found all over the world. Many people are attracted to the rope motif out of an appreciation for simplicity of the design.

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.
