The Love Me Knot Necklace
The Story Behind Our Cult Favorite
Every jewelry designer has a piece that surprises them.
Not because it becomes a bestseller, but because it quietly becomes part of people's lives.
For me, that piece is the Love Me Knot Necklace.
When I first designed it, I wasn't thinking about creating a signature necklace. I simply wanted to design a heart necklace that felt different from the many others already out there. Something timeless instead of trendy. Romantic without feeling overly sentimental. A piece that could be worn every day and still feel as special years from now as it did the day it first arrived.
Looking back, I realize that is exactly what happened.
Over the years, the Love Me Knot Necklace has become one of the most collected designs at Dolce Amore Vault. It has celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and new beginnings. It has been given as a gift between partners, from mothers to daughters, and just as often, from someone to themselves. Those are some of my favorite stories because I have always believed that the most meaningful jewelry is often the jewelry we choose for our own lives.
More Than a Heart Necklace
There is no shortage of heart necklaces in the world, which is exactly why I knew this one had to feel different.
The design begins with two polished shield shaped hearts joined by a sculptural knot. The knot is permanently soldered by hand as part of the design, creating a lasting connection between the two hearts. It is intentionally crafted this way and is not designed to be opened or untied, as doing so would damage the necklace and require professional repair.
Suspended from a fine 14K gold box chain in an elegant lariat silhouette, the necklace feels refined without ever feeling formal. It layers beautifully with other favorite necklaces, yet it has enough presence to be worn on its own.
I never wanted this to be the kind of jewelry reserved for special occasions. I wanted it to become the necklace you instinctively reach for before walking out the door.
Designed to Be Worn
One of the greatest compliments I receive is when a client tells me they rarely take their Love Me Knot Necklace off.
That has always been the goal.
I believe fine jewelry should become part of your everyday life. It should travel with you, celebrate life's milestones, appear in family photographs, and quietly collect memories along the way. The pieces we treasure most are rarely the ones tucked safely inside a jewelry box. They are the ones that become so much a part of us that we almost forget we are wearing them.
Whether paired with a white shirt and jeans, a cashmere sweater, or an evening dress, the Love Me Knot Necklace was designed to feel effortless. It is a piece that fits into your life rather than asking you to dress for it.

Made to Order in California
Every Love Me Knot Necklace is made to order in California by the skilled goldsmiths I am proud to work with. We do not mass produce our jewelry or keep finished pieces sitting in inventory. Each necklace begins only after it has been chosen, allowing every detail to receive the time and attention it deserves.
That slower approach has always been at the heart of Dolce Amore Vault. Every design begins as a sketch, evolves through countless refinements, and is brought to life with the intention of creating something that will be loved for years, not seasons. You can learn more about the philosophy behind the brand on the Meet the Founder page.
A Necklace That Found Its Place
As designers, we never truly know which piece will resonate most deeply. We can only create with intention and hope our work finds the people it was meant for.
Somewhere along the way, I began noticing the same necklace appearing again and again in photographs clients shared with me. Different cities. Different celebrations. Different stories. The same two hearts joined by a knot.
I never set out to create a cult favorite.
I simply wanted to design a necklace someone would love enough to wear every day.
Looking back, I think that is exactly what the Love Me Knot Necklace has become.
If you are searching for a thoughtfully designed 14K gold heart necklace that is made to order and crafted to become part of your everyday life, I hope this one becomes part of your story.
