The Knot of the Broken Oath is a talisman of fracture, memory, and irreversible choice. At its crown rests an interwoven Celtic knot, a symbol of continuity and binding — here serving as the origin point from which consequence descends. What begins as unity does not remain untouched. Below the knot, a vertical cruciform structure anchors the piece, flanked by two radiant red hearts held in symmetrical balance. These hearts represent what was once shared — devotion, trust, or intention — preserved in form but no longer whole. Their mirrored placement suggests parity rather than hierarchy: neither heart dominates, neither is erased. At the base hangs a split red heart, visibly fractured and pierced downward by a blade-like point. This final element marks the moment of rupture — the vow broken, the truth revealed, the path forever altered. It is not a symbol of regret, but of acknowledgment: what has been broken cannot be returned to its previous state, only carried forward with clarity. Worn close to the body, The Knot of the Broken Oath functions as a personal relic of reckoning and resolve. It speaks to those who have crossed a threshold they cannot unsee — and chose to continue forward with awareness rather than denial.
