The Sailor’s Knot

This “rhomboid” shaped design stands for unconditional love.

It’s believed that it was given its name by sailors’ wives as knots are an integral part of every sailor’s life. This emblem is also associated with separation and endless love which was as important to the husbands as it was to the wives.
