About the Viking Rings

It is in this collection that you will find all our Viking rings. We have the best collection of Norse rings in the world. All are handmade out of the finest materials including gold, sterling silver, bronze, and stainless steel.

Many of the pieces in this collection are inspired by genuine pieces surviving from the Viking age. We know that the Vikings wore finger rings, probably as status symbols. Signet rings were common, and the symbol on the ring probably represented something meaningful to the wearer. This could be a divine patron, heroic ancestor, or one of his own deeds (what would Ragnarok “hairy pants” Lothbrok have worn?).

Here you will find rings perfect to be your signet, a Viking fashion piece, or a gift for someone special.

Symbols on our Viking Rings

Below is a selection of some of the symbols that appear on our Viking rings and their meanings.

Viking rings with Mjolnir – Thor’s hammer was worn as a symbol of protection in the Viking age. In the Christian period, it became a symbol of continued allegiance to the old gods. The hammer is also aspirational, since Thor is the ideal Viking warrior. Wearing these Viking rings offer the protection of Thor.

Viking rings with Ravens – Ravens are among the familiars of Odin and represent the complexity of the deity as the god of war, wisdom, and wanderers among other things. He had two ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), that flew out into the world each day and told Odin everything they saw and heard. When Odin decided to disguise himself to wander the world, he was accompanied by ravens. It was good to see ravens circling the battlefield, as it meant that Odin was present to oversee the battle, and choose the bravest fallen warriors for Valhalla. wearing these Viking rings represents the connection with Odin.

Viking rings with Valknut – The Valknut is the symbol of Valhalla, the great hall of Odin where he takes the bravest fallen warriors. There they feast until they are called on to fight again alongside the gods at Ragnarok. Wearing these Viking rings represents the hall, and the daily courage required of Viking warriors to earn a place there.
