Bracelet Draupnir

Draupnir - a gold ring or bracelet made by dwarves. It belongs to the god Odin, and every nine nights eight of the same gold rings emerge from it.

Among the many types of bracelets, armlets and other jewellery in the shape of bands or spirals, this type of bracelet, known throughout Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, England, the Baltic States and Kievan Rus, stands out the most.

(below is an example of a bracelet from Burge, Lummelund)

The famous Ibn-Fadlan, after visiting the Vikings, comments on the frequency of bracelets and rings. "Women wear gold and silver rings around their necks, one for every 10,000 dirhams her husband has; some women have many rings." 

We also have information about "friendship bracelets" - not only that these jewels were cleverly stored possessions. Men also often exchanged them as a token of friendship or as an honourable exchange of warriors or as a reward. By giving a bracelet, men often secured friendship or settled a feud. It could also be a grave gift for the last journey of a respected warrior. clearly the bracelet should be part of our clothing.

The artistically crafted heads of the bracelet not only serve to express your personality, but are also a practical element - pressing them together closes the bracelet on your wrist and pulling them apart removes the bracelet from your hand.

The bracelet is finished with a patina and then lacquered, so it won't stain your skin or clothes.

The bracelet comes in several versions and sizes. It is ideal to shape it to your wrist so that it can be taken off and put on without further adjustments. The bracelet is put on from the side of the wrist, not by pulling it over your fist! We kindly ask the customer, in case of buying a cheaper version made of jeweler's alloy, to follow this rule and not to stretch the bracelet repeatedly, it could break! If you intend to wear and remove the bracelet daily, we recommend the more expensive bronze or brass version, which we also offer.

Upon agreement, we can also arrange for this bracelet to be made in silver - the price is individual according to the final weight, which is determined by the size of your wrist. Contact us!
