Ingerid

While the name is inspired by Queen Ingerid of Stårheim, this silver pearl is originally from a 10th century burial mound at Nordfjordeid. The grave, which belonged to a powerful woman in the community, contained a burnt ship and rich grave goods.

This piece is part of the Sagastad Viking Jewelry collection by Sylvsmidja.
