Viking Love Rune Ring

Description
Sterling Silver 925
A ring for lovers with an ancient invocation 'Think of me, I think of you. Love me, I love you.'
This is a translation of the original Old Norse inscription that I have carved into this silver Viking ring: 'mun.thu.mik.man.thik.un.thu.mer.an.ther.'
There are several examples of this Viking love spell found from medieval Scandinavia, two from 13th Century Bergen and one from Sweden. Runes were used by the ancient Norse peoples as a form of writing with strong magical connections. So these runes were more than just a love letter, they were also a sacred invocation.
The original inscriptions were carved into wood, but as runic rings were also found from the Viking Age, I have decided to carve these Viking runes into a silver ring.
