The knot, and what it stands for

The triquetra, three arcs woven without beginning or end, is read in Celtic tradition as faith, love and unity. In folk practice the same knot is worn as a witch knot: a charm you keep at the throat to hold your own energy in and other people’s out.

The heart at the center is your birth month’s stone. Tradition has it that the two together keep you grounded while whatever isn’t meant for you finds its way back out.

Size & materials

Pendant 26.7 × 20 mm (1.05 × 0.79 in). Faceted blue-green bicolor crystal with a heart-cut birthstone at the center.

High-quality copper core, heavily silver plated. Adjustable box chain: 45 cm (17.7 in) plus a 5 cm (2 in) extension, so it sits anywhere between 45 and 50 cm (17.7 and 19.7 in). Lobster claw clasp.

Care

Take it off before showering, swimming or sleeping. Perfume and hairspray go on first, the necklace after.

Wipe the knotwork with a soft dry cloth. No jewelry dip, no alcohol: silver plating does not survive either.

Shipping

Orders are processed in 1-2 business days. It ships in its jewelry box, so it can go straight out as a gift.

US / CAN / UK: 5-8 business days
AUS / NZ: 6-9 business days
International: 5-9 business days

How it works

Choose it, then wear it

1

Choose your month

Twelve stones, one for each birth month. The knotwork and the blue-green crystal stay the same; the heart at the center changes.

2

Wear it at the throat

The chain adjusts between 45 and 50 cm (17.7 and 19.7 in), which sits it around the collarbone, where the knot is traditionally worn.

3

Leave it on

It is light enough to forget you have it on. In the old practice the charm is meant to be worn daily, not saved for occasions.

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 center

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.

The necklace on a leather notebook

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.

I have a small collection of protective pieces. This has become the one I reach for. It is heavier than a pendant that size should be, in a good way. Feels substantial on the chain.

The weight of it on the chain is noticeable in a comforting way. Very light pendants feel like nothing. This one you know is there.

Lovely piece and it carries what I wanted it to carry. It took longer to arrive than the site said. Worth the wait in the end.

Solid piece and the tradition is respected in the design. I would have preferred a heavier chain. It has not broken so I may be being fussy.

I wear it with a simple jumper. It does all the work. The openwork means it does not look heavy. Traditional without looking dated.

Nice piece and my wife likes the heritage connection. The chain is thinner than the pendant deserves in my opinion. It has held up fine so far.

I nearly did not order because the price made me suspicious, i am glad I did. The quality is higher than the price implies.

I gave this to my mother in law and we do not have an easy relationship. She wore it to Sunday lunch two weeks running, small thaw but I noticed.

Three months in and the knotwork has not darkened or tarnished. I take it off for the shower which I think is the whole secret. It is still bright now.

Nice gift and it was well received. The stone in the middle is a little smaller than the photos suggested. Still a good looking piece.

Saw it on a video where someone explained the protection meaning. That is what made me buy. The piece itself turned out to be lovely as well.

Nice piece and I wear it a lot. The clasp migrates round to the front through the day. I just spin it back.

M

★★★★★

It goes with everything I own and carries a meaning I care about. That combination is what I was searching for. It has become my default necklace.

N

★★★★☆

Really like this and I wear it under my clothes daily. The clasp occasionally works its way round to the front, common with box chains I think.

Ifeoma Chukwuka
★★★★★

Wearing my own birthstone feels sillier than it is until you actually do it. There is something to having a piece that is specifically yours. I get it now.

M
Maire Guilfoyle
★★★★☆

Lovely symbol and a decent piece for the money. It arrived about two weeks after ordering which was slower than advertised. I have no complaints otherwise.

C
Chiamanda Nwakanma
★★★★★

Found it through a video about the symbolism rather than a product ad. That is why I trusted it. The piece lived up to the story.

★★★★★

January garnet is a deep wine red which is more grown up than I expected, i had pictured something brighter. Prefer it this way.

D

★★★★★

Christmas present for my mum with her January garnet. She wore it to every family thing over the holidays, three of my aunts asked where it came from.

M
Marisabelle Toussaint
★★★★☆

Comfortable and pretty and I wear it most days. It did arrive around two weeks later than I expected, and the piece itself is nice.

B

★★★★★

No green marks on my neck which is my usual problem with plated pieces. I have sensitive skin and expected trouble. None so far after four months.

I like it and wear it a few times a week. It is noticeably smaller in person than in the listing photos, it is still pretty on.

i have a claddagh on one hand and now this at my throat. my mother would approve. she always said wear your heritage where people can see it

E
Ekaterina Sobolev
★★★★☆

Good everyday necklace and it layers well, the bail is a little tight for a thicker chain if you want to swap. I have kept the original.

F
Fionnuala Prendergast
★★★★★

I have Scottish heritage on my mother’s side and Irish on my father’s, and this knot belongs to both which is why I chose it. Convenient as well as meaningful.

★★★★★

Bought it for my niece who just finished nursing school. The knot symbolism fit the occasion. She sent me a photo wearing it at her ceremony.

C
Clemence Dupuis
★★★★★

I was convinced it would turn my neck green within a week. Three months later, nothing. The plating is heavier than most costume jewellery.

G
Griselda Ferrante
★★★★★

Bought October for my niece and the pink is a proper rose rather than a hot pink. Suits a younger person without being childish. She loves it and wears it out.

P
Priscilla Nyong’o
★★★★★

i layer it with a shorter chain and it works because the pendant has enough presence to be the lower piece. no tangling between the two, thats rare in my experience

Y
Yolanda Kirkbride
★★★★★

got it for my granddaughter for her confirmation. the faith love unity meaning was right for the occasion, she wore it on the day and still wears it

D
Dara Cullinane
★★★★☆

Nice traditional design and good weight. The finish is brighter than the antiqued look I would have chosen. It still reads correctly though.

L
Lorenza Pellegrino
★★★★☆

Comfortable and it goes with everything. The silver is brighter than my other pieces so it does not quite match. I wear it on its own now.

P

★★★★★

Present for my wife before our trip to Ireland in June. She wore it the whole three weeks including to my cousin’s farm, handled rain and wind without issue.

E

Got it for my sister who moved to Australia and gets homesick. She wears it constantly now. Small link back for her.

W

Nice piece and it looks better than the price suggests. It is a little smaller in person than I expected, and still wear it most days.

P

★★★☆☆

I like the piece and my stone is correct. It arrived nearly three weeks after ordering with no updates in between, and the pendant is nice now it is here.

B

★★★★★

Bought it after a rough few months with a friendship that had gone sideways. I am not claiming anything mystical happened. I will say I felt steadier wearing it and that was worth the money.

T
Theodora Vandermeer
★★★★★

Sits well with a wide neckline which is what I mostly wear. The chain length on the longest setting is right for a boat neck. Good adjustability for different necklines.

C

★★★★★

Bought it for the symbolism rather than the look, and then the look turned out to be lovely too. It is a genuine piece of jewellery not just a charm. Both things at once.

I
Ilona Vasilyeva
★★★★★

Bought it after a long stretch of feeling drained by people around me. Whether it does anything or simply reminds me to protect my energy, the effect has been real.

R
Riona Gallagher
★★★☆☆

Good traditional design and I am glad to have one. The bright silver is more modern than the antiqued finish I wanted. Still a nice piece.

C
Charlotte Renwick
★★★★★

I picked my own month rather than my favourite colour. I am glad I did. The garnet red against the blue green crystal is a better combination than I would have chosen. The whole thing looks deliberate.

M
Muireann Scanlon
★★★★★

I have worn Celtic jewellery my whole life. I know what cheap looks like. This is not cheap. The weight of the pendant is the giveaway.

G
Genevieve Waddell
★★★★★

Goes with black, goes with navy, goes with a white shirt. That is the whole test for me with a necklace. It has become the default.

F
Franklin Osei-Bonsu
★★★★★

I ordered it for my wife after twenty years together and she said it was the first jewellery I had picked that she actually liked. That stung a bit but I will take the win.

My wife’s birthday is in October. The pink tourmaline is prettier than I expected from the chart. Arrived quickly and in a proper box. She was genuinely pleased.

Bought for my wife whose birthday is in December. The tanzanite blue goes nicely with the blue green crystal behind it, and better colour match than I expected.

C
Colleen Mahaffey
★★★★★

i got this for my best friend whose grandmother was irish. between the celtic knot and her birthstone it was perfect for her, she cried a bit which i was not prepared for

M
Morrigan Blaise
★★★★☆

Good piece and it means something to me, and the openwork does catch on loose knits occasionally. I wear it over solid fabrics now.

E

★★★★★

i keep mine on a hook by the door and put it on with my coat, its part of leaving the house now. small habit but it means something

FAQ

What is a witch knot?

It is the triquetra: three interlocked arcs drawn in one unbroken line. Celtic tradition reads it as faith, love and unity; in folk practice it is worn as a protective charm. Both readings belong to the same symbol.

Which birthstone do I pick?

The month you were born. January garnet, February amethyst, March aquamarine, April diamond, May emerald, June alexandrite, July ruby, August peridot, September sapphire, October tourmaline, November citrine, December tanzanite.

Are the stones real gemstones?

No. They are faceted crystal cut in the color of each birthstone. That is what keeps a pendant this size at this price.

How long is the chain?

45 cm (17.7 in) with a 5 cm (2 in) extension, so it adjusts between 45 and 50 cm. That sits the pendant around the collarbone.

Will it tarnish?

It is heavily silver plated over a copper core. Kept dry and away from perfume it holds its shine; worn in the shower or the pool it will not.

Does it come ready to give?

Yes. It ships in a jewelry box, so it can go straight into a bag without repackaging.
