About Viking Age Jewelry:

Viking jewelry was more than just adornment; it was a display of wealth, social status, and identity. Vikings crafted their jewelry with intricate designs, often inspired by nature, mythology, and their surroundings. Common motifs included animals, dragons, and mythical creatures, with the drakkar (dragon ship) being one of the most significant symbols. These dragon-headed ships were not only used in warfare and exploration but also represented power and prestige.

The materials used in Viking jewelry varied based on availability and the wearer's status. Bronze, pewter, silver, and gold were commonly used, along with beads made from glass, amber, and semi-precious stones. The craftsmanship was highly skilled, with techniques such as casting, engraving, and filigree being employed to create stunning pieces that have stood the test of time.

Our handmade drakkar necklaces are crafted to capture the essence of this rich tradition, blending historical authenticity with modern artistry. Whether you choose bronze or pewter, each piece is meticulously designed to reflect the strength and beauty of Viking heritage.

Enhance your collection with a piece of history and wear a symbol of the Viking Age with pride.
