The Algerian Love Knot Necklace
When Eva Green appeared in Casino Royale wearing an
Algerian Love Knot, many people wanted to find out more about it. Her personality – Vesper Lynd – was one of the best Bond girls in a very long time, without doubt aided by the fact that the tale and character where penned by Ian Fleming in his novel going back more than fifty years.
Casino Royale was unexpected in several quarters, which had written of the James Bond movie series years before. Nonetheless when Daniel Craig was introduced as the new James Bond, the mold was absolutely broken. Gone were such a lot of of the off parts of the Bond series and in their place was something that was a bit like the Bond that had gone before, but something else too.
A love knot is composed of three or more rings or tubes of metal that are joined together to form a knot – the most common kind of love knot is the Celtic love knot, which is an expression of wholeness and stability. The rings are often flattened down and in the case of the Algerian Love Knot, finished with a complicated pattern picked out in gold.
The Algerian Love Knot necklace that appears in Casino Royale – and later in Quantum of Solace, when James Bond is seen to carry it with him across the film – was designed for the movie by London based jeweller Sophie Harley. The hand made item had a price to match its quality making certain exclusivity, much to the dismay of many Bond fans who liked the item.
Actually it appears that before its appearance in Casino Royale there was no such thing as an “Algerian Love Knot” and the idea was built for the film because there appear to be no mentions of it anywhere before 2006.
Vesper’s Algerian Love Knot necklace was reputedly given to her by her ex-lover, of French Algerian descent. Nevertheless all isn't what it seems and the tale arch that starts in Casino Royale is finished at the end of Quantum of Solace when 007 stands up to the man.
Although falling madly in love with Bond, Vesper goes on to betray him – in truth it later turns out that she has been betraying him from the outset. In the book she simply takes an overdose of sleeping tablets, but in the film the producers made a decision to give her a more dramatic death while she and Bond are visiting Venice.
