Durability & Care
Knotwork is a more delicate design that requires it to be set under glass or fine gemstones, to ensure it will last for generations as a true heirloom.
Your keepsake should be worn gently, not during strenuous activities outdoors or in, to ensure moisture does not settle under the glass, which could lead to mold growth and damage over time.
