Ash Leaf Torc - Medium Braid

"I know that an ash-tree stands called Yggdrasill, a high tree, soaked with shining loam; from there come the dews which fall in the valley, ever green, it stands over the well of fate." -the Icelandic poem Völuspá. The Nordic Yggdrasil was an ash tree that connected the nine worlds of Norse mythology. Now, the neck ring doesn’t have those kind of powers, but it does feature leaves inspired by those of Yggdrasil.  What better way to honor that amazing tree than to wear a neck ring decorated with its leaves? Design Details The Ash Leaf Torc is constructed with a medium braid of wire, and is approximately 5/16” (8mm) thick. It is available in both bronze and sterling silver. Historical Inspiration The great ash tree Yggdrasil is central to Viking mythology. Also known as the World Tree, it grew on an island surrounded by the ocean, in the depths of which the World Serpent lay. This ash tree's trunk reached up to the heavens, and its boughs spread out over all the countries of the Earth.
