Why People Wear The Witch Knot
-
A knot with no beginning
Three arcs woven into one continuous line. Celtic tradition reads it as faith, love and unity; folk practice knows the same shape as the witch knot, worn for protection.
-
Your stone at the centre
A heart-cut birthstone sits in the middle of the weave. Choosing your own month is what turns a pretty pendant into something that belongs to you.

Made to be worn every day
Copper core, heavy silver plating, open-worked knot. 26.7 mm tall and light on the chain, so it does not become the thing you take off at lunchtime.
Some people wear a charm. Some people wear armour.
The witch knot has been worn at the throat for centuries for one reason: to hold your own energy in and keep everyone else’s out.
You do not have to believe the legend for it to do something. Putting it on in the morning is a small, deliberate act, and most people say that is the part that sticks.
The knot of twilight
Old stories call it the knot of twilight — the charm for whispers, jealousy and intentions people do not say out loud.
The blue-green crystal behind the weave is faceted, so it changes with the light: near black in a dark room, almost turquoise in daylight.
Twelve stones, one for you
Garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond, emerald, alexandrite, ruby, peridot, sapphire, tourmaline, citrine, tanzanite — a heart cut for every month of the year.
It is also why it works as a gift: you choose their month, and they know it was chosen rather than picked off a shelf.
Close enough to see the work
The knotwork is open, not stamped — you can see through the weave, and the braid pattern runs along the inside edges of each arc.
Copper core with heavy silver plating, an adjustable box chain and a lobster claw clasp that actually holds.
