This interlaced pattern echoes Viking-era carvings on an intricate rune stone found in Sjusta, Uppland, Sweden, and dating to the late 11th or early 12th century.

It was commissioned by Rúna, in memory of her four Viking sons, and carved by one of the leading runemasters of the time, Öpir.

How do we know Öpir carved it? Because he  signed the rock next to his artwork - just as every piece of Ola Gorie jewellery has a 'maker's mark' discretely placed on it.

Product Review

I loved this silver brooch when I bought it in 1981 at the British Museum and have just realized it is an Ola Gorie special. I love wearing it, especially as I may have Viking ancestors from the north of Scotland and often receive compliments when I wear

Dimensions: 31mm x 31mm
