Hello, everyone! I'm here again to discuss another Chinese ornamental knot jewelry, the Double Connection Knot.

The knot that holds the wooden beads of the necklace above in place together is called the Double Connection Knot. The primary role of this knot is to make a stable loop with the two cords dangling below. But as we can see it does not only secure the beads in place but also provides an elegant look. This knot just gives an elaborate design to any piece of jewelry when combined with another kind of knots, for example in this necklace, it is combined with the Prosperity Knot which I'll discuss in the next succeeding articles about Chinese knots.
But we have here a bracelet that is made out of Double Connection knots. So it's really important for you to consider the color of the cords and the choice of beads to make that piece of Chinese knot jewelry elegant and lovely to wear.
Originally, this is how a Double Connection knot would look like:
