#vikings #armrings #vikingera In this episode, Hendrik and Carmen show you why Viking arm rings were so much more than just jewelry! These fascinating status symbols tell stories of power, trade, and craftsmanship. From bronze to gold – discover the different materials and their social significance. How were these intricate pieces of jewelry created in the workshops of Hedeby? What role did runes, dragons, and knotwork patterns play? And why were arm rings even usable as currency in the hack-silver system? Whether as a ring-giver's reward for loyal followers or as a family heirloom passed down through generations – these historical pieces of jewelry reflected complex social structures. Today they live on in LARP, reenactment, and as fashion statements, connecting us with the fascinating world of the Norsemen.
