Vesper Lynd’s jewellery in Casino Royale is a lesson in restraint: a love knot in silver and gold that never becomes a performance. The Sophie Harley Algerian Love Knot earrings take the same design language into something smaller and easier to live with, and they make a considered gift for anyone who likes a story behind what they wear.
In the film
Our catalogue records Eva Green’s Vesper Lynd wearing Sophie Harley earrings in Casino Royale (2006), alongside the designer’s necklace. Sophie Harley’s own account is that she was personally commissioned to design the original Algerian Loveknot necklace for the film, and a note in our records says she made about 20 copies of the necklace and several pairs of earrings. We have not been able to confirm which earring style appears in each scene, so we describe the collection rather than a single pair.
The details of the Sophie Harley Algerian Love Knot earrings
A knot, not a logo. The design is a love knot, a shape that reads as ornament first and symbol second. Nobody across the table needs to know where it comes from.
Silver with gold detail. The collection is made in silver with gold detail, and the maker lists the Mini studs as silver with 22ct gold-plated detail. The two-tone finish is warmer than plain silver and less assertive than solid gold.
Made in London. Sophie Harley says every piece in the collection is designed and handmade in her London studio, as the original was for the film.
Several sizes. The range includes Mini and Tiny studs, so you can choose how much of the knot shows.
Wearing it now
We would choose the smallest studs for everyday wear. They suit a white shirt, a navy knit or an evening dress equally well, and they keep the reference to the film private. They also work as a gift for someone who has watched Casino Royale more than once and would rather have a good piece of jewellery than a souvenir.
Our one caution is to check the product page before buying. The maker describes the Mini studs as inspired by the Algerian Loveknot collection, so treat them as the same design language rather than a replica of the pair on screen. For more jewellery from the films, see our jewellery category, or the full list of Bond films.

Questions
Did Vesper Lynd wear these earrings in Casino Royale?
Our records show Vesper wearing Sophie Harley earrings in the film, and the designer says she made several pairs for it. Which style appears in which scene is not confirmed, so we do not claim a specific pair.
Are the Mini studs the same as the film earrings?
Not necessarily. Sophie Harley describes the Mini studs as inspired by the Algerian Loveknot collection designed for the film, which makes them part of the same family rather than a confirmed copy.
Where are Sophie Harley earrings made?
In London. The maker says the Algerian Loveknot pieces are designed and handmade in its London studio.
