Across history the knot has had many different meanings, including sacred and religious symbolism.
In Egypt it represented life: the knot of Isis stood for immortality and divine love. The endless knot is one of the most ancient figures utilized in Buddhist symbolism in China and Tibet, but also in geographically distant zones, to convey a sense of infinite devotion.
Tying and knotting mean joining, connecting two objects, bringing them together in harmonious progress. Since ancient times the knot has had a clear meaning of junction and commitment between two people. This meaning is immediately associated with love, precisely to emphasize the inseparable nature of a bond.
This symbol conveys meanings of eternity and faithfulness. A knot made properly will not come undone, opening and separating the two objects it holds fast. Therefore a love knot unites two people forever. It is not a noose, not a tight restraint, but an intertwined connection, representing a sense of give and take, of help in moments of need. It is a soft knot that links without duress. Extended horizontally, it reminds us of the symbol of infinity: what could be a better way to represent everlasting love?
