For the Weaver of Realms
In Norse cosmology, Yggdrasil’s roots bind the Nine Worlds, from Asgard’s golden halls to Helheim’s shadowed depths, its branches etched into Viking Age runestones like the 10th-century Överhogdal tapestries. This ring rekindles the reverence for the World Tree as a symbol of life’s interconnectedness, its vines intertwining like the Norns’ threads of fate at Urðarbrunnr (Well of Destiny). Forged using cold-casting techniques perfected by Norse smiðir (blacksmiths), the band’s sinuous design mirrors the Oseberg ship’s vine-carved relics, blending ancestral artistry with modern metallurgical resilience.
Features
- Fate-woven vines – Laser-etched tendrils mimic Gotland picture stone carvings (0.2mm depth)
- Midgard-proof steel – 316L alloy scoffs at tarnish like Thor’s hammer repels decay
- Einherjar adaptability – Adjustable band molds to fingers 6–9 (US) like Yggdrasil’s pliant roots
- Hypoallergenic craft – Nickel-free guard for berserkr-sensitive húð (skin), worthy of Idunn’s touch
- Seiðr-steeped finish – Antiqued polish echoes Viking Age gullgubber amulets
Materials
Surgical-grade 316L stainless steel (saltwater-resistant)
Electrochemical anti-tarnish polish
