I have combined a classic choker design with strong, robust Viking knit chain. Nearly 1,300 years ago, Vikings used long pieces of silver and gold wire to weave ropes. These woven wire ropes were then stretched and made into jewellery for powerful Viking leaders. This wire weaving is called Viking knit (or trichinopoly chain).
This bold, stylish neck choker is made with a copper wire, which I have hand forged, spiraling and hammering the ends. The body of the choker is made with a very thick, double Viking knit chain, which is 1/2' wide and sure to make a statement. I have finished the choker with 2 handmade wire end caps. The clasp is a hand forged hook clasp
The choker is 15 1/2' long. The chain is 1/2' wide.
