Viking armring cast in solid hypoallergenic Stainless Steel. It ends in lindworm heads. Being cast in thick Stainless Steel, the armring is durable and quite stiff. It can be adjusted slightly in size. Measure your wrist to make sure that you can fit in on. Wear it around your wrist and push it up your arm if you need to get it out of the way.
Armrings were often given by powerful chieftains to secure allegiance from their followers. Bestowing such gifts was a demonstration of wealth and power, and the warrior who accepted the gift pledged his loyalty to the chieftain through doing so. This has led to armrings gifted in that manner to be known as ‘Oath Rings’. Wearing armrings were also a way of carrying your ‘money’, since they were often made from silver or gold.
