For the Seer and the Skald
This rúnahringr (Old Norse "rune ring") channels the mystique of völur (seeresses) who carved fate into bone and stone, its hexagon shape echoing the sacred geometry of Vegvísir wayfinding symbols from Icelandic grimoires. While Viking-age rings favored serpentine forms, our modern twist honors the Elder Futhark runes etched by Norse skáldir (poets) to invoke Odin’s wisdom. Forged from hypoallergenic stainless steel using dvergar-smíði (dwarven craft) precision, each rune’s grooves mirror the Ulfberht swordmakers’ obsession with unyielding beauty.
Features
- Hexagon band design – Symbolizes the six realms encircling Yggdrasil, the World Tree
- Elder Futhark runes – Laser-etched to channel Óðinn’s (Odin’s) quest for hidden knowledge
- Tarnish-resistant steel – Defies decay like Fenrir bound by Gleipnir
- US size 6–13 – Fits fingers of berserkir warriors and skjaldmær (shieldmaidens) alike
- 4mm width – Substantial as Thor’s oath, subtle as Loki’s whisper
Materials
Surgical-grade 304 stainless steel (modern járn evolution)
Antiqued finish inspired by Gotlandic silver hoard artifacts
Size Details
At Vikheim, we craft for Midgard’s diverse tribe. While patterned after Norse proportional ratios, slight variations in etching depth may occur—each ring bears unique “saga marks” from our smiths’ hands.
Care Instructions
Polish with úlfléttur (linen cloth) to maintain Gullinbursti-level luster
Avoid seiðr (sorcery) chemicals—harsh cleansers weaken even dwarven steel
