THE DESIGN STORY
The Hercules knot is an ancient symbol rich with meaning, most notably representing undying love and marriage commitment. In antiquity, it was believed to be the knot tied at a bride's girdle - one that only her groom could untie - its bound ends symbolising a union that could not be broken. This tradition is widely thought to be the origin of the phrase "tying the knot".
A recurring motif in Greek and Roman art, the Hercules Knot also signifies strength, protection, and unity. Its association with the legendary hero Heracles (Hercules) led to its use as a protective amulet, believed to ward off evil spirits and aid in healing.
According to myth, the goddess Aphrodite tied her hair in a Hercules Knot, while Artemis fastened her garments in the same form. In ancient Greek art, the knot was revered for its healing properties, and it’s continued use across millennia reflects the enduring belief in its symbolic power. 
Handcrafted and adjustable, the Hercules Ring allows for a personalised fit, making it as versatile as it is symbolic.
 

ETHOS

Produced in a family run workshop of 7 workmen and women, our pieces are exclusively carved and crafted by hand in Athens, using Ancient Greek jewellery-making techniques and silversmithing. As champions of slow production, we create only small quantities per design. If a piece is sold out you are welcome to place a pre-order, which has a three week turnaround period, for a piece to be made exclusively for you. Unique designs that are not part of our core collection of YSSO Icons, will no longer be available once they sell out. Explore more about our story in the article about YSSO in the New York Times.
