These are viking bead hangers I made for a friend.

Just got them done today and will be mailing them off by friday.

All brass construction with lots of punchwork decoration.
Yes, the random, chaotic splatter of little round marks on the right one is accurate to the grave find originals.



I did not have the right tools to make these, and had to work with what I had.

So they are not as nice looking as I hoped for.

But since I had to make them with the equivalent of banging two rocks together, and toss in a pair of rusty pliers...And they don't look too bad.

You wear them by attaching the top rings to the upper corners of an apron-dress, and hang strings of beads from the lower rings across the chest.
