The Scandinavians did not make them all: many were acquired, traded, or weighed as bullion. A chain could thus be worth its weight before its form—which is why we sometimes find pieces cut with shears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo explore further, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bracelets-vikings\"\u003eViking Bracelet\u003c\/a\u003e category gathers our other models, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/colliers-vikings\"\u003eViking necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e can complete the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the same category\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bracelet-tennis-zircons-acier-argente\"\u003eZircon Tennis Bracelet: Silver-Tone Steel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bracelet-chaine-fine-fermoir-barre-acier\"\u003eFine Chain Bracelet with Toggle Clasp: Silver-Tone Steel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bracelet-cuir-tresse-double-rang-plaque-ouvragee\"\u003eDouble-Row Braided Leather Bracelet: Ornate Plate, Magnetic Clasp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"21 cm","offer_id":57915902493054,"sku":"LCV-BRA-BRACELETCHAINEBYZANTINETET-01","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 inches","offer_id":57915902525822,"sku":"LCV-BRA-BRACELETCHAINEBYZANTINETET-02","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/bracelet-chaine-byzantine-tetes-de-dragon-ambiance.jpg?v=1787686861","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/bracelet-chaine-byzantine-tetes-de-dragon","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
