There are many sites in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK, Ukraine & Ireland where Viking hoards have been uncovered. The Vikings often traded in hack silver, where pieces of silver were hacked off parts of jewelry & coins and weighed to barter for other goods such as food, crops, cattle & even slaves. So silver appeared to be the most popular metal used to cast and design ornate pieces and a common feature among Viking jewelry was animal designs taken from nature & Norse mythology. Silver brooches & beads were common among Viking women with rings & earrings being a rarity. The wealthy Vikings would wear bronze, silver and occasionally gold. The less wealthy would wear items of carved horn, bone & iron. As trade routes opened up then materials would appear, such as amber, carnelian and other precious stones. Our Viking jewelry / jewellery is handmade from solid 925 sterling silver mainly. Each piece of our Viking jewelry is a replica of an original Viking artifact or has designs taken from an original Viking artifact. Due to the complexity of their form, each piece of silver or bronze Viking jewelry must be individually cast using a lost wax process, the same technique that was used by the ancient Viking smiths to produce https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrcT3XnbCO/?igshid=1e01tn6ndga21
