This lovely single weave Viking Knit bronze necklace was woven by hand using 24 gauge wire. Bronze is an alloy of Copper and Tin. It contains many of the same magical and healing properties of Copper but is a much harder metal and takes longer to develop a patina. Which is great for jewelry! The discovery of Bronze turned into what we now call the "Bronze Age" and allowed people to make tools, tiles, weapons, art and all sorts of things from a metal that was harder and more durable than it's plain copper counterpart. The oldest piece of Bronze work was found in Serbia but it has also been discovered to be in use in many other places including Iraq, Iran, China and other places. There was also what is called the "Nordic Bronze Age" and was used by early Scandinavians to create religious works, jewelry and much more. Viking knitting is a type of chain making done by hand and really was used by the Medieval Northern Europeans! $49+shipping! 🍄🍄🍄 #viking #vikings #vikingknit #vikingweave #vikingjewelry #vikingnecklace #vikinggarb #norse #norsewireweave #garb #asatru #bronze #bronzejewelry #bronzenecklace #etsy #heathen #handmade #wirewrap #wireweave #wirewrapped #pagan #wicca #wiccan #magic #magick (at http://www.thewellandspindle.com)
