Ich habe diesen „Wikinger“ -Ring in einem Geschenkeladen bekommen und kann keine Informationen über das Muster finden. Ich habe versucht, die Geschichte dahinter herauszufinden, da ich weiß, dass sich der Kunststil entwickelt hat, aber ich stecke fest! Habe ich mich in ein Schmuckstück mit einer einfachen Touristenfalle verliebt?

that it looks cool I guess
To 99.9999% of the Norwegian population this means absolutely nothing.
> Have I fallen for a basic tourist trap piece of jewellery?
Yup 👍
Gift shops are always tourist traps. These rings are modern inventions.
Absolutely nothing at all
It’s based off knotwork, and gives more dwarf than Viking vibes, still a really cool ring
It is probably a simplified version of the carvings they made in their art.
[Example.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:La_pared_original_de_la_Urnes_stavkyrkje_(I).jpg)
It’s celtic knots, so it has absolutely nothing to do with vikings besides that vikings were exposed to this art. You can probably find the same thing from temu or something if you just look up men’s cheap celtic knot ring
In that case, does anybody know somewhere I can get authentic jewellery from?
It’s really just some cool patterns that were put on the ring. (Btw where did you get that?)
This pattern indicates that the one wearing the ring is a great warriorwho excells at slaying trolls and dragons, and is chosen to fight Midtgardsormen when ragnarok comes.
You might find viking age wood carvings that are similar to this, but they carry no meaning to anyone today. If you were to ask a historian with a specialization on the viking age they might be able to tell you something about what such patterns might have meant to the vikings.
If you are interested in jewlery that is more or less directly inspired by actual viking designs, check out the Snorre line by Espeland: [https://www.espeland.no/snorre_213.html](https://www.espeland.no/snorre_213.html)
It’s thunder cock ring.
