Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla Tungsten Carbide Ring with Blue Opal Inlay

Bifrost (Bifröst) is the rainbow bridge that connects Asgard, the realm of the Gods; with Midgard, the world of humanity. Bifrost is guarded by the ever-vigilant god Heimdall.

For 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 Frigg, the goddess of marriage, with the celebrations lasting for a full week.

During the wedding ceremony, the groom presents his ancestral sword to his bride, receiving from her a sword of her ancestors. In both sword hilts rest wedding rings, exchanged rings to further consecrate the vows before the gods.

While the exchanged swords were often stored away as gifts for the future offspring of the couple, the wedding rings meant that, from that moment on, the bride and groom belong to each other.

This ring is made of Tungsten Carbide, a highly resistant alloy made of equal parts of Tungsten and Carbon. 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. The inlay is made with genuine Blue Opal stone, bringing the bright iridescence of Bifröst to the ring. The exterior of the ring is coated in resin to protect the stone and wood inlays.
