Viking Rock Crystal Bead - S

Rock crystal bead from the Viking Age in spherical shape.

Here you can buy a rock crystal bead from the Viking Age, which was modelled on the crystal pendants from Gotland.

The original rock crystal beads from the Viking Age date back to the 11th century and were found by archaeologists in various designs and sizes on the Swedish island of Gotland.

We offer you this Viking Age rock crystal bead with a perfectly cut sphere of clear rock crystal, which, like the historical models, is almost transparent and has hardly any inclusions.

You can buy this bead in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.

Dimensions 2.9 x 2.1 cm.

The rock crystal sphere itself measures 18 mm.

A 1 metre long black leather strap is included with the Viking rock crystal bead.

The rock crystal beads of the Vikings are impressive evidence of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship. They were found exclusively on the Swedish island of Gotland.

However, less high-quality spherical rock crystal pendants are also known from earlier medieval finds. However, complete necklaces with beads of cut rock crystal were found on Gotland, which were set in silver settings and were by far the most impressive masterpieces of Viking Age jewellery craftsmanship.
