Authentic Viking brooch cast in solid bronze with the lost-wax method, inspired by 9th – 11th century Norse penannular fibulae.
This Viking brooch is a faithful reproduction of the penannular cloak pins which were used across Scandinavia during the Viking Age (9th – 11th century). Such brooches were discovered in burial sites in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Viking settlements, which proved that they were used very often in Norse life.
Before buttons existed, Norse people used strong metal fasteners to tie their heavy wool cloaks and tunics. The penannular shape, which has an open ring with a rotating pin, was used because it held garments properly and even helped in adjusting them as per the need. So these were suitable for both daily wear and long journeys.
The surface of this pin has a Norse knotwork and spiral pattern. These designs were not only decorative but symbolic, and stood for unity, strength, and the endless cycles of life and fate. Such motifs were common on personal items, showing status, identity, and cultural belief.
This piece is created with lost-wax casting. In this process, a wax model is formed first, then covered with a mold. Once heated, the wax melts away and molten bronze is poured in, capturing fine details that modern casting cannot easily replicate. This method ensures every Viking brooch has slight natural variations, just like historical originals.
The solid bronze construction is durable, while the strong pin ensures secure fastening. Whether used to close a cloak, worn as part of historical clothing, or kept as a display item, it shows true Viking designs.
This brooch works perfectly as a brooch pin for heavy fabrics, a functional fibula brooch for clothing, or a detailed medieval brooch for collectors. Its open-ring form also makes it a classic pennanular brooch, sometimes called a ring brooch, suitable for Viking, Norse, and early medieval outfits.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: Each brooch is individually cast with the lost-wax method. Small differences in surface texture, tone, or detailing are natural.
