Information: The Vikings demonstrated their wealth, power and status be wearing beautiful jewellery made from precious metals. Many jewellery items were made from silver ingots, coins and Danegeld payments which were melted down as the raw material.

Intricate and masterful jewellery was made using techniques such as filigree and repoussé. Whilst brooches served as decoration and to keep clothing in place, amulets of the Viking gods served to protect the wearer.
