Gotland Stamped Bracelet Sterling Silver size L

Gotland Stamped Bracelet Sterling Silver size L

The Arm Ring is based on the findings from Gotland, Sweden. The Original one is located at Gotlands Museum in Visby.

This Bracelet is hand-stamped using traditional methods. It’s made of solid Sterling Silver 925

In Viking culture, arm rings were significant multifaceted items used as a display of wealth and status, a form of portable currency known as “hacksilver,” and as symbols for oaths of loyalty and legal agreements. Both men and women wore them.
Arm rings made of precious metals, such as gold and silver, denoted the wearer’s wealth and social standing. More ornate or heavier rings indicated greater importance, and kings and chieftains were often referred to as “ring-givers” in sagas and poetry, a title of respect for their generosity in distributing wealth to their followers.
In a time before a standardised coin system was widespread, arm rings, particularly those made of silver, functioned as a practical, portable form of currency because they could be easily cut into smaller pieces (known as hacksilver) to pay for goods and services in trade.

The bracelet can be gently fitted onto your wrist. Don’t bend the bracelet too much because the silver is getting harder when you bend it so many times

The arm ring is fully annealed, and it’s able to squeeze a bit to fit it to your wrist.

The square cross-section is 5×5 mm

Weight: +/-38g

Size for wrist 18 – 20 cm (7” – 7.9”)
