Viking Money Bracelet in Copper
Viking Money Bracelet in Copper
The Vikings were all about wealth. In a society where trade is a part of life, wealth can come in many forms. Since the viking traded with many other cultures, a universal currency was needed. They would wear arm rings as a sort of decorative wallet. When they needed to purchase something they would hack off a piece of the arm ring and use it to pay for the item. These arm rings have come to be known as “Hack silver”.
Not all of the arm rings found have been silver; some have been found in copper alloys( bronze) and gold.
This beautiful bracelet has been hand forged in copper. It has been imprinted with traditional viking stamps to make a unique design. Each one is a little bit different.
