For the Modern-Day Voyager
Though the Vegvisir first appeared in 19th-century Icelandic grimoires like the Huld Manuscript, its essence channels the Viking Age’s relentless pursuit of direction – across stormy seas and life’s winding paths. This adjustable ring reimagines the “Wayfinder” symbol through surgical-grade stainless steel, its etched staves mirroring the sunstone navigation techniques legends say guided Leif Erikson to Vinland. Crafted for today’s shieldmaidens, the 7mm (0.28 in) band balances delicate intricacy with the resilience of Ulfberht swords, honoring Norse women who ruled fjords and homesteads alike.
Features
- Storm-proof 316L steel – Saltwater laughs at this alloy like Thor mocks Jörmungandr (Rockwell B90 hardness)
- Rune-etched guidance – Eight staves laser-engraved with 0.1mm precision, rivalling Huld Manuscript artistry
- Seamstress’s flexibility – Adjusts from US 6–9 (16.5–19mm) like Freyja’s feather cloak adapting to realms
- Hypoallergenic grace – Nickel-free guard for sensitive húð (skin), worthy of a volva’s touch
- Weightless might – 5g (0.17 oz) sits lighter than Valkyrie’s braid
Materials
Surgical-grade 316L stainless steel (marine-proof)
Electrochemical anti-tarnish polish
Size Details
Adjustable band fits US sizes 6–9 (16.5–19mm). Skald’s note: Hand-finishing creates ≤0.15mm (0.005 in) texture variations – marks of dvergr (dwarf) dedication, not flaws.
Care Instructions
Polish with a vaðmál (woolen) cloth; avoid Ægir’s bath (prolonged water). Store in a dry skrin (box) between quests.
