The Lady of the Rings

These jewels are inspired by the different viking graphic styles. We underline the fact that archaeology has never unearthed such beads in viking hoards yet. Viking metal beads were generally round, hollow and granulated, and were seemingly never used in hair or beard. Our beads cannot claim to be replicas or suitable accessories for demanding reenactors, but display patterns in known viking styles.
