Viking Bracelets

The most popular jewelry among the Vikings were bracelets, also known as armbands, or arm rings. Arm ring bracelets were worn by both Men and Women in the Viking Age era and had significant meaning. Viking cuffs were often used to cement bonds of loyalty between a lord and his warriors in a society where men lived and died by their honor. They were often bestowed upon young adult males to symbolize their coming of age.
