An absolutely massive neck ring worthy a king. Based on finds from Gotland, Sweden, it is destined to grab the attention of everyone beholding it.
The prominent piece has been wholly handmade according to ancient Viking silversmithing techniques with scrupulous attention to details. With so many different components, it is a very complicated process that takes weeks worth of work and absolute top level craftmanship to finalize. Several thick wires are forged tightly together with thinner filigree wires to create a tightly woven piece that ends in dragon heads from Gotland. As the number of wires used increase, so does the difficulty level and there isn’t room for a single mistake during the silversmithing process. Few have the skill to craft them, which makes complicated neck rings like this quite rare.
The neck ring is based on armring finds form Gotland. Link to original find: Swedish History Museum
A neck ring like this would have belonged to a powerful chieftain, a wealthy merchant or a successful raider, bestowing the same admiration as wearing an expensive Rolex watch in today's world.
