Since Eva Green sashayed onto our screens as the coolly sharp-witted Vesper Lynd in Martin Campbell's 2006 blockbuster Casino Royale, knot jewellery has remained firmly on our agenda.
Throughout the film adaptation of Ian Flemming’s famed novel, the fictional MI6 agent famously sports an Algerian Love Knot necklace, designed by British jewellery designer Sophie Harley London. A token that alludes to her relationship, the piece pays homage to the enduring allure of knotted jewels and the meanings concealed within.
Despite their dainty appearance, knot jewellery carries a weighty history. Across Celtic art, interwoven designs have been associated with eternity, connection and the enduring bonds between people, their continuous lines symbolising something without beginning or end.
The motif later found a glamorous modern expression in fine jewellery, most famously Cartier’s 1924 Trinity design, whose intertwined bands came to represent fidelity, friendship and love.

Jewellery label Abbott Lyon says of the trend: “Forget barely-there chains; knot jewellery is making a comeback, with the sculptural style that defined 90s jewellery boxes finding a new audience in 2026.” The stats support this totally, with Google searches for long knot necklaces rising by 133 per cent and love knot jewellery by 222 per cent in 2026.
Today, there are ample options to choose from. High street favourites such as Missoma are brimming with modern takes on the classic design, while luxury houses spanning Bottega Veneta to Tiffany & Co. stock premier alternatives to save for special occasions. For the cinephiles among you, you can even buy Vesper’s very own cherished piece, which is crafted right here in London.
Whether browsing for yourself or a loved one, hop on the elegantly twisted trend and shop our favourite knotted treasures below.
