Winged Viking Raven Ring

Sterling Silver 925 Ring 

The winged raven of Viking legend was the inspiration for the Viking raven ring.

There are many references to ravens in the poetry of the vikings and many examples of viking art show the image of this mythical bird.

The raven was a powerful motif for the vikings, a symbol of the power of the mind and a connection to the spirit world. In short, what the vikings thought of as wisdom.

As a spirit animal, the raven could act as guide for the shaman to the Otherworld.

Odin, as god of magic, has two ravens Huginn and Muninn – Thought and Memory – who aid him in his constant quest for wisdom. He is referrred to as Hrafnaguth, the Raven God.

I was inspired to make this ring when I came across two garter hooks in the 9th - 10th century Borre style depicting a raven. I have extended the winged raven design to wrap around the finger.

I have made this ring in 3 sizes, but each size is adjustable and can be carefully bent for a perfect fit.

As a rough guide, the large ring will fit a large male finger. The medium ring will fit a medium sized man's finger or a large woman's. The small ring will fit a medium to small female finger.
