The Vikings occupied a large part of Europe and their jewelry dates back to the 8th and 11th century. But their charm is still prevalent and they are very much in fashion. The Vikings were highly skilled craftsmen and they could give various shapes to the metals and their alloys. They used the lost wax method in their process of jewelry making. Viking jewelry was mostly made up of copper, bronze, silver and gold. Heavily twisted bangles and neck torques were extensively worn during this age.  They were made up of contemporary Arabic silver coins. Antique necklaces of this era were made of amber and they used pendants of colored glass that displayed symbols of Gods. Earrings, bracelets and brooches were worn as a symbol of power. The Vikings worked on the Celtic designs and modified them to use in their jewelry. Their jewelry articles are mostly used by the people of Europe, but today, they are famous all over the world.
