Norse people of old also made beautiful and intricate jewellery in the form of bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc., out of a variety of materials including bronze, iron, gold, silver, amber, and resin. Early on in the Viking Era , which is about 800 AD, these ornaments were simple, but as time went by, the pieces became more detailed and sophisticated.

There is no real evidence to say which gender wore them but historians believe they were worn by both men and women. They were believed to be a display of wealth or used as a form of currency in commercial transactions.
