Knot Again! The Beauty of Knotted Jewelry and a Splurge or Steal

Knots have shown us that something that is an intricate mess can be astonishingly beautiful and strong at the same time.  Knots can tie two things together.  Knots can help make something stronger.  Knots literally create a fabric as a whole (as my mother always tells me, its "knitted fabric," not "knitting")  Knots can get in the way.  Knots can be created to slip or created to be unbreakable.  Knots in and of themselves can be so amazingly beautiful that we now wear them in absense of any utilitarian duty (most of us aren't sailors).

Knots have a symbolism that can be twisted endlessly to draw metaphor to the countless aspects of life as we know it.  I've always been fascinated by knots.  As a designer I've created, worn, and sold many pieces featuring knots (even pre-knot trend).  That's why I've decided to bring you this splurge or steal on the newly popularized knotted statement necklaces.
