Retro Two Toned Link Bracelet

With Hercules knot* links of alternating yellow & rose measuring approx. 1/2 inch wide, fashioned in 14k yellow & rose gold. Length 7 3/4. *originated as a healing charm in ancient Egypt, but is best known for its use in ancient Greece and Rome as a protective amulet, most notably as a wedding symbol, incorporated into the protective girdles worn by brides, which were ceremonially untied by the new groom. This custom is the likely origin of the phrase “tying the knot.” According to Roman lore, the knot symbolized the legendary fertility of the God Hercules; it probably relates to the legendary Girdle of Diana captured from the Amazon Queen Hippolyta. -symboldictionary.net
