I try to make multipurpose jewelry when ever it is possible. Parts of this set can be used in many ways and styles.

This long key chain is made of recycled class beads and silver beads. Key hangs in large and sturdy s-lock. There is 3 larges closed jump rings in the chain. You can transform this key chain in to Viking style necklace. Third chain is made of silver jump rings.

Highest chain is made of recycled glass beads, silver bead and hundreds of year’s old silver dirhams. Dirham coins were very popular among Nordic women. People made even fake dirham coins if they could not get real ones.

All of these chains have large jumprings in their both ends and it is easy to put s-locks to these rings. You can lock 2 cains together or add pendants between the ends.

In reality Viking era and other Iron Age necklaces have been brightly colored. I decided to make one chain more realistic. It is made of glass beads and 2 silver beads. People used to have amulets hanging of the chain. Small casted silver bear and bird pendants pose as those amulets.
