Hercules Knot woven gold necklace by Lalaounis

EDITOR'S REVIEW

• Lalaounis creates both figurative and abstract designs inspired by a wide range of themes from art to nature, architecture and the animal kingdom
• The art of hand-weaving gold dates back to the Hellenistic period of Ancient Greece and today the skill is nurtured in creations such as this Hercules Knot necklace
• In this laborious process, each link is formed by winding a gold wire around a hand drill that is then soldered to create a circle
• Just as in weaving, vertical and horizontal rows of links are joined to create a strong chain that is beautiful on its own or as an element in a more complex creation
• Yellow gold
