Shieldmaiden Wolf Head Silver Sterling Ring

The wolf was one of the most potent symbols in the Viking world.

The most famous Viking wolf was Fenrir, one of the sons of Loki. Devastatingly strong and ferocious, he is destined to kill Odin himself during Ragnarok. He is the embodiment of the destructive powers in the world.

Odin was also accompanied by two wolves, Geri (ravenous) and Freki (greedy). They are a reminder that we are always accompanied by our more volatile characteristics, and they are part of what makes us who we are.

Women were also associated with wolves. The giantess Angrboda, the mother of Fenrir, was also the leader of a wolf pack. They were part of the source of her devastating power.

This delicate but striking sterling silver ring celebrates the feminine power of the wolf in a classic Mammen style design.

Mammen style art was popular in Denmark during the 10th century.
