The integration of Celtic knotwork within a heart outline is a well-established compositional approach in Scottish silver jewellery, the continuous strand carrying its associations of eternity and interconnection while the heart provides an immediate and recognisable frame. The two elements reinforce one another naturally, the symbolic geometry of the knotwork and the warmth of the heart outline held in balance within the same composition. As a drop earring format, the heart outline moves naturally with wear.
Each earring presents a smooth open heart outline as its primary frame, its curves generous and cleanly defined, tapering to a neat point at the base. Within the interior, a compact Celtic knotwork composition fills the heart, its interlaced strands weaving over and under one another in a continuous pattern that occupies the full interior space. The finish throughout is oxidised silver, the darkened recesses providing strong contrast against the raised knotwork strands and the smooth outer heart border, giving the piece a depth and definition that a plain polished finish would not achieve. Fish hook fitting above.
15.8mm width, 15.0mm height. Weight approximately 1.02g per earring. 925 sterling silver with oxidised finish. Fish hook fitting.
