Guardian of the Nine Realms
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil’s roots bind Asgard to Helheim, its branches cradling the cosmos as depicted in the Poetic Edda. Vikings etched this sacred tree onto runestones and amulets to invoke cosmic balance, while the interlaced Celtic Knot symbolizes eternal bonds forged across Norse-Celtic trade routes. This cuff rekindles the craftsmanship of Viking smiðir (blacksmiths), its stainless steel forged with the enduring spirit of Ulfberht swords and adorned with motifs rivaling the Oseberg ship’s carvings.
