Earrings likely weren’t significant in Viking attire based on grave and settlement findings in Scandinavia. However, Scandinavians likely encountered during their travels other cultures that wore them, particularly in southern Europe and Russia. The earrings discovered in a silver hoard alongside coins from just after the Viking Age suggest that they were either embraced by Scandinavian women or repurposed, though the exact context remains uncertain.

Due to the handmade nature of the product, the actual piece may vary slightly from the item pictured. Each piece of jewellery from the Nord Emporium workshop is handmade by me. You can order personalisation as hand-engraving of your personal rune or initials. Engraving is an option for jewellery that has enough space. The surface may be finished with high gloss or satin (matt). If you need any customisation, please contact: nord.emproium@gmail.com
