Viking Strength Rune Ring

Description
Sterling Silver 925 Ring
A Viking rune spell for courage 'May you not lack in strength. These are courage runes.' The voice of an ancient Norse spell-weaver speaks to us from the distant past. These runes are in old Norse; 'Tharnisk ther eigi urr. Tha mothrunar es'.
I have combined 2 original inscriptions that have survived through the centuries, hidden in the earth, on bronze amulets. They were found in trading towns, now situated near Novgorod in modern Russia. Thanks to archaeology, we can now read these magical invocations once again.
The original amulets were worn by 9th Century Viking adventurers on the trade route that led from Scandinavia all the way to Byzantium. Although the originals were in bronze, runic rings were also know from the Viking Age, so I have carved these original rune spells into a silver Viking 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:

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.

HHendrik Johan SchreweOnly had to do very minor adjustments to get it to fit and really love it! Knowing what the runes mean is really neat as well, as it serves as a little reminder every now and then when you need it. Lovely work as usual and super fast shipping.
Liebe Grüße from the Black Forest!
