The Viking bangle from Lummelunda / Gotland.
Massive Viking bangle after the discovery of the historical silver arm ring from Lummelunda on the island of Gotland.The original Viking bangle was made of solid silver and was found on the Swedish island of Gotland near the village of Lummelunda. The bangle was very solid and therefore extremely valuable. It was probably once owned by a powerful jarl or great leader.
Link to the original Viking bangle...
The original Viking bangle from Lummelunda was made from silver wires of different thicknesses and is now on display at the Swedish National Museum. Our reproduction is cast in one piece and can be bent open or closed with a little force.
The Viking bangle from Lummelunda is 12 mm thick at its thickest point and can be adjusted to a circumference of around 20 to 22 cm. The bangle is therefore ideal for strong male arms.
You can buy the bangle in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, you can also order it in 925 sterling silver (please note delivery time).
Alloy...
In the Viking Age, even a massive bangle like this could be made not only from bronze, but also from silver or even gold and was reserved for a powerful jarl or great warrior, who could display his status for all to see.
Viking chieftains gave precious bangles like this one to their loyal followers for special deeds, which was a demonstration of their wealth and power and also ensured the goodwill and loyalty of the recipient.
Precious bangles given in this way were referred to by the Vikings as oath rings and were intended to emphasise the strong bond between the two parties.
