A striking ring design that you won't see anywhere else! Mystical and magical, this ring is adorned with alternating valknut knots and topped with Noric Helm of Awe.
From wikipedia: The Helm of Awe or Helm of Terror (Icelandic: Ægishjálmr, Old Norse Œgishjalmr) is an Icelandic magical stave. A physical object called "Helm of Terror" is referenced as one item Sigurd takes from the dragon Fafnir's hoard after he slays him in Völsunga saga. Stanza 16 of Fáfnismál in the Poetic Edda also mentions:
The Helm of Awe
I wore before the sons of men
In defense of my treasure;
Amongst all, I alone was strong,
I thought to myself,
For I found no power a match for my own.
The valknut (coined from Old Norse valr, "slain warriors" and knut, "knot") is a symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles. It appears on a variety of objects from the archaeological record of the ancient Germanic peoples. The compound noun valknut is from the modern era. The term used for the symbol during its historical employment is unknown.
Scholars have proposed a variety of explanations for the symbol, sometimes associating it with the god Odin, and it has been compared to the three-horned symbol found on the 9th-century Snoldelev Stone, with which it may be related. Hilda Ellis Davidson theorizes a connection between the valknut, the god Odin and "mental binds":
For instance, beside the figure of Odin on his horse shown on several memorial stones there is a kind of knot depicted, called the valknut, related to the triskele. This is thought to symbolize the power of the god to bind and unbind, mentioned in the poems and elsewhere. Odin had the power to lay bonds upon the mind, so that men became helpless in battle, and he could also loosen the tensions of fear and strain by his gifts of battle-madness, intoxication, and inspiration.
Cast in solid .925 sterling silver, these rings are made of 100% recycled metal. The finish on this ring is a brushed patina, but can put a polish finish on these rings upon request, please indicate a different finish preference in your order notes, and see the last image to see the difference between the finishes and the different metals available.
All our rings are made to order, and made in your size, WE --NEED-- YOUR SIZE BEFORE WE CAN MAKE YOUR RING. Our rings are available in 1/4 sizes from size 4 to 13, any other sizes are by special request only, please contact us if you need a size outside this range.
Each one is individually made in your size so the width of the ring varies depending on how wide your finger is, so all rings match proportionally (see the chart below to see how big the ring is in your size). We can vary the width, please message us if you'd like a custom width.
Each one of these designs is our own creation, from design to finish. Our small team of 3 creates each piece from scratch, and hand finish and polish each one. All jewelry is made in the USA from recycled metal (better for the earth!) and set with lab-grown stones (). We have a wide array of 100's of designs of rings, pendants and earrings not listed in our store, as well doing custom jewelry design and creation. Please visit our site

Frequently Asked Questions
REQUEST SPECIFIC DATE
Our rings are handmade and most take 5 weeks to craft. You can upgrade your shipping at checkout to a 2 day express option (USA)and add in the order notes the day of your wedding. We will try our best for requests that are within the 4-5 week mark, but we cannot make any guarantees. 2tone rings, platinum and rings with gemstones will take longer than solid wedding bands.
Upgrading your shipping option will decrease transit time but it does not mean production time will be decreased. We cannot offer rushed production at this time.
ORDERING THE RIGHT SIZE
We highly, highly suggest you purchase our refundable ring sizer as most of our rings cannot be resized. https://www.etsy.com/listing/93717826 Please see article here for sizing tips: https://celticeternityjewelry.wordpress.com/2023/04/19/ring-size/
WHAT IF I ORDERED THE WRONG SIZE
For wedding bands with stones or continuous knotwork (80% of our designs), cutting the ring for re-sizing would ruin the pattern. We will need to make a brand new ring in the new size; there is a 35% fee of the original cost to cover the labor required to make a new ring. Creating a new ring takes our standard 4-6 weeks. We only offer this discounted remake service once; if you order the incorrect size again, you will have to purchase the ring at full value. We know this is frustrating but we are a small business.
You must contact us within 3 days of receiving your ring to tell us if you need a resize. Original ring must be returned.
STONES & METALS
Our rings are made with lab-grown stones. These are REAL STONES (not fake cubic zirconia) and they are chemically identical to naturally occurring ones, but they are better for the earth because we can find them in a lab versus having to dig randomly in the soil.
We can make any ring in sterling silver, gold (10K, 14K, 18K, yellow, white, or rose) or platinum. We do not offer tungsten, steel, or titanium.
WHITE GOLD - gold is naturally yellow. White gold uses added alloys to give a white-ish appearance but it will still have a slightly yellow hue. We do not rhodium plate our rings unless specifically asked as this coating is temporary and will wear off over time.
FINISH SELECTION (PATINA)
We suggest polished + patina for most rings.
Patina is a method of darkening metal through oxidation. This allows small details to stand out and gives the ring a beautiful contrast. Almost all our photos use patina.
Polish is the standard finish you see in high end jewelry - bright, shiny and very reflective.
Brushed is a matte finish recommended for those who are hard on their hands or do rough work. The surface will not be shiny so it hides any scuffs that might occur during wear. Be warned, this will look much duller than our polished finish.
Please see last image in listings for examples of the different finish styles.
CUSTOM DESIGN
PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE A STANDARD LISTING.
Depending on your needs, we may accept custom requests. Please send us:
1. Ring Size
2. Metal - Sterling, Gold (include 10k 14k 18k and COLOR), Platinum
3. Design # you are interested in (# at end of listing ex. 1052)
4. Description of changes. Add if ring is for woman, man, engagement
5. Wedding Date
If it's not based on one of our existing designs, you will NEED to send us a sketch.
We will give you a quote and if you agree, begin working on your custom design. This can take 4-12 weeks. Once you approve the design, we will create a custom listing for purchase. Upon full payment, your ring will enter production which takes 4-6 weeks.
ALL QUOTES ARE IN USD and do not include taxes/import $
LAYAWAY PLAN
For purchases over $400, we offer a 2 payment layaway option.
For purchases over $800, we offer 2 or 4 payment layaway option.
For purchases over $1500, we offer 2, 4 or 6 layaway option.
We are flexible on finish dates, but we require rings to be paid in full before they enter production (rings take 4-6 weeks to create). Please complete all payments 3 months before special dates, wedding, anniversary etc to allow time for production and rare shipping delays.
***CUSTOM ORDERS are not eligible for layaway options. We require payment in full.

JEWELRY CARE
It is industry standard to recommend that fine jewelry be removed before interacting with water, lotion, or other chemicals. This will allow the ring's finish and patina to last as long as possible. That said, our rings are made of precious metals and water will not affect the structural integrity of the ring.
