KalevalaHeraldic Ring gold141000200190

A single unending string forms a looped square cross. In the ancient Northern Europe, it was believed that this symbol contained a protective power that shielded its wearer from evil. The design also reminds us of the Earth’s four protective spirits, each of whom settled down in their corner and supported the sky above the Earth. The Northern people named those spirits West, East, North and South. Fortune follows the wearer of the Vaakuna ring, and no evil thoughts may reach them – the looped square cross on top of the ring, the St. John’s arms, is a sign of this protection. Of even width and thickness, the Heraldic ring is easy to combine with other Kalevala Love rings. The symbol of the Kalevala Love collection, a heart based on a Viking Age motif, is engraved on the inside of the shank.
