CHARACTERISTICS: A jewelry piece with character. The fine and detailed craftsmanship of the dragon head on the chain gives power and mysticism to its wearer. It can successfully be combined with any pendants, including those made of Gotland mountain crystal, or worn on its own. This chain is also very practical as it can be worn on both sides. If you don’t want the dragon heads to be visible, they can remain at the back of the neck as a clasp, and you can wear the chain as a simple necklace. It pairs very well with the bracelet and pendants made of Gotland crystal.
The dragon head played an important role in the life of the Vikings. They would place it on the bow of their ships, believing that it was enough to scare away the sea monsters lurking in the depths. One of the dragons mentioned in Scandinavian sagas is Nidhogg - a dragon/snake that gnaws at the root of the world tree Yggdrasil.
