Ullr Oath Ring Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band

For the Norse peoples and Vikings, marriage wasn’t just a union of the couple, but of families. Marriage was the center of the family in Viking culture, which in turn created intricate and complex traditions, all of them necessary to earn the blessings of the gods.
Traditionally, weddings were held on Friday, the scared day for Frigga, the Goddess of marriage, with the celebrations lasting for a full week.

The wedding rings meant that, from that moment on, the bride and groom belong to each other.

Ullr is the God of the hunt and the Keeper of Oaths. The Old Norse poem Atlakviða show us how the most solemn oaths are sworn on the Ring of Ullr. This was a common practice, archeologically proved in the only shrine to Ullr ever unearthed, in the city of Lilla Ullevi, Sweden. Excavations on the site found 65 Oath Rings dedicated to Ullr. The rings were apparently used for swearing oaths and then buried at his shrine.

This ring is made of Tungsten Carbide, a highly resistant alloy made of equal parts of Tungsten and Carbon. It is 8mm wide and 2.3mm thick. The alloy, twice as hard as steel, can only be polished and finished with abrasives of superior hardness such as cubic boron nitride and diamond powder, making it one of the most resistant rings you will ever have.
