Sophie Harley’s stunning contemporary take on an ancient style Algerian Love Knot. The necklace claims a starring role in the James Bond movies Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008).

Sophie Harley, London based celebrity designer, was approached by the film production team to produce this important piece. The Royal College of Art designer was chosen because of the compelling style of her exquisite jewellery.

The intricate necklace combines Sophie’s strongest inspirations to create a piece of jewellery that is both ancient and contemporary in style. Incorporating ancient symbols, philosophy and iconography, the piece is as intriguing as the plot and has captured the eyes, minds and hearts of a worldwide audience.

Following the approach from the Casino Royale Bond team, the Algerian Love Knot was born. The piece was first seen on the leading lady, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), and is to be featured in the forthcoming new movie as central to one of the underlying plot lines.

To celebrate the launch of the new film, Sophie has produced a £15,000 solid 18ct gold and diamond encrusted version of the Algerian Love Knot necklace, see image on the left.

The Algerian Love Knot necklace is a truly beautiful and intricate work of art combining ancient goldsmithing techniques with bold contemporary design. The love knot is also an ancient symbol of enduring and eternal love.

Each piece is hand crafted in Sophie’s London studios and supply will be limited.
