Meaning of Viking Jewellery

Silver and bronze were among the metals preferred by the Vikings and were often worn close to their hearts. These precious metals were used to make jewellery for Viking warriors, and there were even gold items adorned with gemstones. Less noble materials like bronze and iron were used to craft bracelets for the more humble people. Bracelets, brooches, and necklaces were common jewellery pieces worn by everyone, in contrast to rings or other more valuable items.

Necklaces, rings, and amulets were often intricately designed. They featured natural forms, such as trees, reflecting the diversity and beliefs of the Vikings. The symbol of the snake was frequently depicted in Nordic jewellery. The Vikings copied ideas and designs from the civilisations they fought against, adopting and adapting them into their unique Scandinavian style.

Another unique aspect of Viking jewellery was the connection to Norse mythology and the symbols representing the religion of these people. Many of the necklaces and bracelets featured depictions of birds or mythical creatures like dragons, wolves, or Thor's goats. These symbols represented war in Viking mythology. Odin’s ravens, for example, embodied the god's eyes and ears. Thor’s hammer is also often found: it symbolised the power of the god Thor — the power to control thunder and lightning.
