The famous rock crystal spheres from Gotland are fascinating examples of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship that are known exclusively from Gotland . On this Swedish island, archaeologists found several complete necklaces consisting of different sized spheres of cut rock crystal. These were set in high-quality silver settings and are still among the most beautiful masterpieces of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship.
