The historical story of Yaroslav the Wise and Ingegerd of Sweden
Behind Jan Maarten Asscher’s True Love Knot lies a story dating back to one of the most significant unions in early European history: the marriage between Yaroslav the Wise and Princess Ingegerd of Sweden. This union did not just bring two individuals together, but also united two royal houses and two cultures.
Yaroslav the Wise, known as one of the most influential rulers of his time, and Ingegerd, daughter of the Swedish king, symbolized with their marriage a connection that transcended the borders of their separate realms. From this union arose the image of the knot without beginning or end: a symbol of unity, harmony, and a love stronger than geographical and political divides.
This historical foundation gives the True Love Knot a meaning that extends beyond a decorative motif alone. It concerns a union that literally made history, and whose symbolism feels just as powerful centuries later. Jan Maarten Asscher translates this story into a contemporary piece of jewelry, where the fluid, unbroken lines of the knot reflect the enduring nature of this historical bond.
By taking this story as a starting point, the True Love Knot collection distinguishes itself from other jewelry with a knot motif. It is not a randomly chosen symbol, but a conscious tribute to a historical event representing unity between two worlds.
Whoever wears a piece from this collection carries a story that goes back centuries, brought back to life in a contemporary design that remains true to its origins, while simultaneously gaining a personal, modern meaning for today’s wearer.
