Cambridgeshire, England, 866-1067 AD. Oval form, size 9 1/2, 1.6mm at the bottom swelling to 2.4mm at the top. The top 1/2 is a modeled roped motif (some wear from its use in antiquity). The spiral or helix was a favorite Viking form. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored. Vikings exchanged wedding rings on the pommel of the groom's sword. See the reference image which shows the process. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
