The circular Celtic knotwork stud is one of the most compact and self-contained forms in Scotland's silver jewellery tradition, the roundel providing a clean, defined field for knotwork composition that sits neatly against the ear with strong visual presence at small scale. The closely worked interlace at this scale requires the strands to be well-defined and cleanly resolved, the high mirror polish giving the raised pattern strong light reflection that maintains the pattern's readability across the face of each earring.
Each earring presents a near-circular open knotwork composition with a gently irregular organic outer boundary, the interlaced strands resolving at the perimeter without a formal enclosing ring. The knotwork is a dense basketweave plaitwork pattern, its strands crossing and recrossing in a tight, symmetrical arrangement that fills the face of the earring from edge to edge. A central square negative space is formed at the convergence of the strands, giving the composition a clear focal point. The silver throughout carries a high mirror polish, the raised plaitwork strands catching light cleanly against the open spaces between them. Push back fitting.
9.4mm x 9.4mm. Weight approximately 0.56g per earring. 925 sterling silver. Push back fitting.
