Sacred Knot | Enamel Pin

Design

Over and under, the knots flow, dragging your eyes on the journey they follow…

This enamel pin was originally created by Sean Parry as the logo for Sacred Knot Tattoo.  

Knotwork was used by the ancient Celts in Britain, as well as the Germanic tribes of Europe and many other cultures from across the world. We believe that the meaning of many of of the symbols from these times were left intentionally open to interpretation. They were intended to be meditated upon and it was down to the viewer to unravel their meanings. This is why Sean sees these as Sacred Knots:

“To me, knotwork is one of the few places that we can still see magic in its raw form, as clear to us now as it would have seemed to our ancestors through the ages.” Sean Parry 2017

Material & Make

Our pins are crafted in solid metal with enamel detailing and a sturdy pin for security of closure and longevity.
