Catalina is taking a short break from her workshop - all orders placed between now and 11th June will be shipped on her return on 12th June.
A double-layered beaded necklace hand-strung from carnelian and aquamarine gemstones from The Knot.
A reduced-scale iteration of The Knot's STRUNG studies. The same logic of repetition and tension, held closer to the body.
Hand-strung in aquamarine, with an upper strand in carnelian. Compact in form, vivid in presence.
Two bead sizes introduce a subtle tension in scale: 224 stones assembled one by one, without shortcuts.
Each necklace is made to order, crafted entirely by hand in The Knot's Atelier in London. Finished with a simple, functional clasp in rhodium-plated brass.
Length: available in three sizes (35 / 37 / 39cm), including the clasp.
Width: approx. 1.4cm
For alternative sizing, please get in touch.
Fit note: We recommend choosing a length approximately 2 to 3cm longer than your actual neck size, measured snug.
Materials: Carnelian, Aquamarine, Rhodium-plated Brass.
Aquamarine forms the base: softly translucent, with a muted, almost matte quality that diffuses light rather than reflecting it. Carnelian punctuates the upper strand with warm, saturated colour and clearer translucence.
Stone Origins: Uruguay, China.
Processing Time: Please allow 1 to 3 business days for your necklace to be handcrafted and prepared for dispatch.

Consciously Sourced
Every stone is a conscious choice. By gathering only what is needed for each small batch, THE KNOT ensures that every mineral is traced with care and nothing is taken in vain.
Ritual Craft
Made with 100% natural silk. A meditative process where every bead is secured by a hand-tied knot for strength and longevity.
"I find the repetition of knotting to be a form of quiet resistance against the noise of the world. Making things is one of the very few things in this world that really shuts my head down... it feels meditative. I do it for the love of making beautifully crafted objects that people will truly cherish."
THE ART OF HAND-KNOTTING
At THE KNOT, every necklace is a study in tension and structure. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, these pieces are hand-knotted using pure silk thread. This traditional technique involves tying a tiny, precise knot between every single bead.
Not only does this allow the necklace to drape beautifully against the body with a fluid, textile-like quality - but it also ensures the stones never rub against each other, preserving their natural polish for years to come. It is a slow, meditative process that ensures no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
