About the Item
Who hasn’t heard a wedding referred to as “tying the knot”?
Made in Stockholm 1959, weight 38,2 grams. Length 20 cm / 7,87 inch
Knots are a common theme in jewelry design. The symbolism behind the act of tying a knot is one of binding. Thus it is no surprise that it became a metaphor for one’s commitment towards love in different cultures.
Knots have been symbols of love, friendship, and affection dating back to antiquity. In the last few centuries they've most commonly been regarded as a symbol of the bond between lovers. This particular type, the "true lover's knot", is and was a popular style for sailors separated from their loved. It's made by interlocking two overhand knots in two parallel wires, so each one is flexible to move about the other, yet they're inseparable forever.
The association of knots with love has appeared in many different cultures. These include ancient Greek jewelry, Egyptian sculptures, and Celtic knots. In ancient Arabia, lovers used love knots to send messages to each other. The Celtic knots consist of unbroken loops with no beginning and end, symbolizing eternity like the love between a married couple.

- Carlo Weingrill: "love knot" circular three tone gold braceletBy Carlo WeingrillLocated in Malmö, SE“The Love Knot” The bracelet was made by Carlo Weingrill in the 1950s. A lush 18 Karat gold bracelet in three tones of gold, width ca 20 mm, length 18.5 cm, weight 68 g. With Swedish import stamps and the mark for Taennler, weingrill´s distributor for Europe and North America in the 50s. This has been confirmed in writing by Carlofilippo Mensi Weingrill. Makes everyone spinning of envy! In their own words “A distinctive style does not come naturally; it requires close observation of the culture of the age, and a keen eye for form and line. Creativity is the art of balance, a way of turning subjective impressions into an entire aesthetic.” They describe their work as "contemporary elegance without any ostentation" Four generations of Italian gold artisans have built a House that exemplifies fine craftsmanship, exquisite detail, and timeless design. Carlo Weingrill was born in Verona, Italy, in 1856. At the age of eleven, he began his apprenticeship in a goldsmith’s shop. Upon completing his training at the age of 22, he made the decision to open his own workshop in 1879 in Verona. Every piece was handmade using traditional artisan techniques and designed to be worn and enjoyed regularly, sing the highest quality materials coupled with exceptional craftsmanship. The business flourished, and Carlo brought his two sons, Armando and Gastone, into the business. They took over upon Carlo’s death in 1924, and grew the small artisan concern into a major player in the industry, gaining worldwide prestige for their exquisite workmanship. Upon Armando’s death in 1959, Gastone continued to carry on as head of the business. Armando’s daughter, Paola Weingrill, was the next in line to take on the business. From the time she was a toddler, Paola was fascinated with the goldsmiths and their work. When her Uncle Gastone passed away in 1977, it was Paola who took over as chief executive officer. Paola groomed her son, Carlofilippo Mensi Weingrill, to assume the reins of the company upon her retirement. Carlofilippo is now head of the firm, representing the fourth generation to head this illustrious House. From the beginning, the company employed goldsmiths who handcrafted their jewelry, eschewing the use of machines. Workers sat at a table molding, shining and polishing the gold to a stunning finish. In Italy, a craftsman could become a goldsmith after apprenticing for two years, At Weingrill, apprenticeships lasted seven years. Gold has always been the mainstay of the company, using diamonds and gemstones sparingly. The distinctive warm yellow tone of the Italian gold has become synonymous with the house. Weingrill’s goal has been to preserve their tradition of fine craftsmanship and produce wearable works of art using the finest materials, creating timeless pieces that endure for generations. In time the quality of Weingrill jewels would attract the attention of some of the biggest names in 20th century fine jewellery. Carlo Weingrill is credited with being the original manufacturer of some of the most recognizable gold jewelry designs. For Cartier they made the famous Trinity bangles, for Tiffany they made a variety of gold cuffs and bracelets...Category
