Description
Sterling Silver 925 Ring
The design on the viking dragon ring was originally carved by a viking into a stone on the Isle of Man in the 10th century.
The vikings told tales of dragons who guarded ancient treasure. In their art they often used the symbol of the dragon as a guardian against danger. When I first saw this carving I wanted to recreate it as a ring, so now you can wear this ancient symbol wrapped around your finger.
This ring has a smooth and solid form. I have also made it in openwork – see the openwork dragon ring.
Size and Weight
I have made this ring in three sizes. They are open at the back and are adjustable and you can bend them gently for a perfect fit.
Which size is right for you? As a rough guide: on an average hand, the small ring will fit a female index finger or a male little finger. The large ring will fit an average male index finger.
If you want to be more exact, please measure the circumference of your finger with a strip of paper, and compare your millimeter measurement with this table:
Large ring - This ring is 10mm wide.
At its widest adjustment, this ring will fit 78mm circumference.At a regular adjustment, this ring will fit 67mm circumference.
At its smallest adjustment, this ring will fit 60mm circumference.

You can adjust the ring easily yourself by using a piece of wood, or something similar, to prise the ring open, or to tap it to a smaller size. There is a film about how to do this on our YouTube Channel. You can copy this link into your browser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSHPWaQP_8A&t=32s
If you prefer, you can add a note to your order and we will adjust the ring for you to a specific size.

MMarcNice ring i'am enjoy many THX
______I received this as a token of love. I can remember all that I felt in that moment. Looking further and seeing the dragon there gave me pause… this ring has a much deeper meaning for me a year later as I’m alone without the man who gifted it to me. A dragon is what opened the door to our love and now that dragon protects the memory of it. I can feel the warmth and love it took to craft this ring and will cherish it until I awake again, thank you! I fully recommend their lovely craftsmanship!
Thank you
AAshley JoplingI bought this ring several years ago at Moesgaard Viking Market and the ring still looks as fantastic as it did when I purchased it.
Alban went the extra mile when I purchased the ring by giving it a quick polish and helping to re-size it to get the perfect fit! Excellent quality, will definitely be visiting the stall again.Thanks Ash
SSimon Aldridgeafter looking for a long time for wedding rings, we came across the work of Alban of Northan at the Gyppeswyk Viking Bash a couple of years ago. we fell in love with the beauty and craftmanship of the rings and chose a matching pair. Since then we have had other beautiful items from the collection and can completely recommend Northan for quality and workmanship at an amazing price.
Thank you Simon.
EEllie WoutIt's a shame I can't upload a photo of how my ring looks after the many years I've worn it. I never took it off and won't, if I got anything to do with it. I think i got it for 25 years or so? Excellent quality, other rings will loose their definition completely.
Thanks Ellie.
