#The Gotland rock crystal pendants from the Viking Age are impressive examples of jewellery craftsmanship and were found exclusively on the Swedish island of Gotland . However, less high-quality spherical rock crystal pendants are also known from other medieval finds.

Some complete necklaces made of carefully cut rock crystal were found on Gotland. These were set in precious silver settings and are by far among the greatest masterpieces of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship.
