Norse Knot 8mm Tungsten Carbide Ring

The typical Norse Knot motif uses a woven line to depict stylized  powerful animals such as wolves, bears and dragons.  The imagery created can symbolize the connection between warrior and the powerful beast.

For the Norsemen, marriage wasn’t just a union of the couple, but of families, creating 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. 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.
