What sets this piece apart
- It adjusts without tools: you squeeze it gently to tighten it, and pull it apart to widen it. The steel retains the shape you give it.
- The engraving is etched, not printed: it will not fade from friction, unlike lacquered patterns.
- The rear opening allows for side entry: no clasp to maneuver with one hand, simply slide it on from the side of the wrist.

Did you know?
Scandinavians did engrave runes on metal — and often without us really knowing what they were writing. On dozens of bracteates, those gold medallions stamped from the 5th to the 7th century, a three-rune formula recurs: ᚨᛚᚢ, alu. The word might mean "ale," might mean "protection," or might refer to a state of ritual exaltation — specialists have been debating it for a century without reaching a consensus. What is certain is that it was engraved on objects that were worn, and never by chance.
To explore further, our Viking Bracelet department gathers other models, and our Viking necklaces complete the set.

How do I adjust the bangle?
Squeeze it gently with both hands to tighten it, or pull it apart to widen it. The steel keeps the shape you give it.
Do the engraved runes mean anything?
They are Futhark runes arranged as a decorative frieze, not an inscription to be read. On ancient objects, the most common formula was alu, whose exact meaning is still debated.
Is the Valknut a real historical symbol?
Yes. It is attested on the picture stones of Gotland and on the Oseberg ship, always in connection with Odin and death.
Will the engraving wear off?
No, it is cut into the steel, not printed on the surface.
