Iolite - Also known as Vikings Compass -
Leif Eriksson and other Viking explorers who ventured far out into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that would help determine position, used thin pieces of Iolite as the world’s first polarizing filter. Looking through an Iolite lens, they could determine the exact location of the sun and navigate safely to the New World and back.
Yggdrasil, in Norse cosmology, is an immense and central sacred tree. Around it exists all else, including the Nine Worlds. The viking universe.
Viking/Norse women often carried a key or set of keys attached to thier belt or apron for obvious practical purposes but also to show that they had power within their home. Norse women had more respect and rights during the viking era than any other place in the world at that time.
Freyja, the Norse goddess of fertility, was said to possess a magical falcon cloak. When she wore the cloak she, or anyone else who wore it was transformed into a falcon and given the freedom of flight.
This bracelet is adjustable to fit a 16cm to 19cm wrist using the detachable extender chain and is designed like a cuff bracelet using sturdy tarnish free stainless steel memory wire to hold its shape.
This piece will come with a laminated sentiment card with an expression of unconditional love for your shieldmaiden, from you, her viking and the meaning of each charm and the gemstone are explained. It will a be presented in a padded Yggdrasil bracelet gift box.
This is an absolutely stunning and meaningful gift for that strong viking shieldmaiden in your life.
