For Vikings, the heart stood for bravery, fortitude, loyalty, integrity, all attributes of the warrior. That spirit was well demonstrated by their performance in the Crusades. As with most religious conversions, Vikings held on to the old values andåÊ symbols, incorporating them into their new faith. Surface textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored on a Sterling silver 18"åÊneck chain for modern wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
