Delivered ready to give
Every bracelet ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic.
Norse symbols
Every symbol has its own story.
Ægishjálmur — Helm of Awe
A symbol of absolute protection in Norse tradition. Worn by warriors, it embodies inner strength and self-mastery.
Valknut — Warrior’s Knot
A sacred symbol linked to Odin and fallen warriors. It represents the bond between life, death and fate, as well as courage and honour.
Vegvísir — Viking compass
An ancient symbol of spiritual guidance. It helps one find the way and embodies direction, protection and perseverance.
Huginn & Muninn — Odin’s ravens
Symbols of thought and memory. Odin’s ravens represent wisdom, intelligence and clarity.
Norse knot — Eternity knot
A symbol of eternal bonds and universal balance. It evokes interconnection, continuity and harmony.
Best for
- Five Norse symbols to choose from, laser-engraved in solid cherry wood
- Quiet jewellery: a wooden bead, a marine cord, nothing that shines
- Engraved to order in our Aveyron workshop, never in batches
Good to know before ordering
- Wood is alive: the grain and the shade differ from one bead to the next.
- The symbol is chosen before engraving; it cannot be changed once the order starts.
Wearing and care
The cord tightens with sliding knots: set it once on the wrist and it stays put.
After a swim, let the bead dry in open air rather than on a radiator.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is a Viking bracelet given for?
It is a birthday or Christmas gift for someone who loves Norse mythology, and a leaving gift for someone starting something new: the engraved symbol says what the card does not.
What do the five symbols mean?
The Ægishjálmur is a helm of protection, the Valknut binds Odin to the fallen, the Vegvísir guides whoever does not know the way, Huginn and Muninn are thought and memory, and the Nordic knot stands for ties that hold.
Can the cord colour be chosen?
Yes: ten marine cord colours, from black to olive green, and three sizes. Symbol and colour are chosen separately, at no extra cost.
Are the symbols faithful to the original designs?
They are engraved from our engraver’s own vector files, checked one by one: the Valknut really has its three interlocking triangles and the Vegvísir its eight arms, with nothing approximated.
How do I choose my size?
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or a piece of string, just below the bone. Size 1 covers 15 to 18 cm, size 2 covers 18 to 21 cm, size 3 covers 21 to 24 cm; two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models. Each bracelet is then adjusted by pulling on the cords: the size gives a comfort range, not a fixed measurement.
Is the bracelet water-resistant?
The braided marine cord handles water without trouble. Cherry wood is a living material: avoid long baths, swimming pools and saunas, and dry it if it gets caught in the rain. It develops a patina over time, which is normal.
How do I care for the wood?
A drop of jojoba oil, or any neutral vegetable oil, on a soft cloth whenever the wood looks dry or dull: it feeds the wood and revives its colour. Nothing else is needed.
How long does it take to make and ship?
Every bracelet is engraved to order in our workshop in Aveyron, France, then shipped within 48 h, to your door or to a pickup point. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
Does it arrive ready to give?
Yes. It ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic: it can be given as it is, with no extra wrapping.
Is it suitable for men and women?
Yes, it is unisex. Sizes 1 to 3 cover wrists from 15 to 24 cm, and two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models.
Can I give it without knowing their wrist size?
Yes. Each bracelet adjusts along the whole range of its size thanks to the sliding knots, and size 2 (18 to 21 cm) fits most adult wrists. If in doubt, quietly measure a watch or a bracelet they already wear.
How far ahead should I order for a specific date?
Allow 48 h for engraving, then two to three days in transit and two days more for the crossing from France. For a fixed date — a birthday, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas — order ten days ahead to be safe.

Full description
A symbol chosen for what it says
Five Norse symbols to choose from: the Ægishjálmur, the helm of awe; the Valknut, Odin’s three interlocked triangles; the Vegvísir, which guides those who do not know their way; Huginn and Muninn, thought and memory; the Nordic knot, the bonds that last.
It is the gift for a reader of sagas, for someone starting something new, for a man who wears nothing showy: on a dark cord, the pale wood and the fine line can only be read up close. The outlines are our engraver’s own vector files, checked one by one.
Laser-engraved on cherry wood, adjustable marine cord, ten colours. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
