The Black Knots jewelry collection is filled with statement pieces that few will want to miss out on. As the name gives away, each piece is made up of knots using thick black ropes. Nevertheless, instead of a nautical theme or even an edgy one, the Black Knots collection is more sculptural and exotic. This is due in large part to being influenced by Korean and Chinese cultural references such as the Button Knot.
Created by Yuni Kim Lang, a visual artist based in Michigan and who made a name for herself through her knotted hair sculptures, the Black Knots jewelry collection is a natural next step. Made out of industrial polypropylene rope, they are bold pieces that would transform any outfit into a statement-making one.
