Viking rock crystal bead in spherical form.
This Viking rock crystal bead replica was modelled on the spherical beads from the Viking Age found on Gotland / Sweden.
The historical spherical Viking rock crystal beads from Gotland date back to the 11th century and were found in various sizes and designs.
Like the original models, we also offer this spherical Viking bead with a perfectly cut sphere made of genuine rock crystal, whereby hardly inclusions are visible in the clear and transparent crystal.
You can buy this bead in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.

A 1 metre long black leather strap is included with this Viking rock crystal bead.
Viking rock crystal beads are impressive examples of early medieval jewellery craftsmanship, and to this day are only known from the Swedish island of Gotland. Several complete necklaces with rock crystal beads in different sizes and in elaborate silver settings were found here, which are among the most impressive masterpieces of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship.
