Lindy had asked me to specifically design a necklace base on four interconnecting knots,which would be called the ‘Algerian Love knot’, she asked me as my style suited the piece perfectly, a combination of ancient with a modern twist and intricate symbolic details, which is the signature of all of my work. It’s not an email I’d get everyday so of course I jumped at the chance! Not knowing at the time however just what an important piece of jewellery it was going to be in terms of it’s place in the intricate plot of ‘Casino’ and the amount of time that it would be on-screen (and in fact go on to appear in the sequel, ‘ Quantum of Solace’ too).

I received an email from Lindy Hemming, Oscar-winning British costume designer for many films, including several Bond films and Batman too, asking me if I’d like to design some jewellery for the upcoming ‘ Casino Royale’. The Bond collaboration came about in December 2005. How did the collaboration with the Bond film franchise come about and what was the inspiration behind the designs? Sophie is also well known throughout the world for designing the legendary Algerian Love Knot necklace and earrings for the James Bond film Casino Royale which further endorses her British credentials.
