Leoda, Viking shield earrings in sterling silver

Leoda, a name rooted in the rich tapestry of the Germanic language, evokes the bravery and resilience of a “courageous people.” Within this name resonates an ancient melody celebrating the fearless spirit and warrior soul inherited from Nordic legends.

These silver earrings embody the strength, protection, and determination of the Viking people. Their circular shape evokes the shields carried by warriors and the skjaldmö, the fighting women known as Valkyries. They recall the North Sea, icy winds, longships, and misty lands where the songs of the sagas once echoed.

The surface of the jewelry is adorned with delicate engravings, forming a harmonious arrangement of volutes and spirals. These motifs, found in many Celtic and Nordic cultures, were seen as symbols of movement, balance, and vital energy.

Among the ancient peoples of the North, the spiral represented the wheel of time, the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It was also associated with the sun, a source of light and warmth, essential for prosperity and fertility. Each spiral, depending on its orientation, carries a particular meaning. Turned clockwise, it symbolizes the winter sun, subtle yet full of hope. Conversely, when it unfolds counterclockwise, it embodies the radiant power of the summer sun, whose light floods the earth and awakens life. When two spirals meet back to back, they form a perfect union, a balance between opposing forces — shadow and light, night and day, strength and gentleness. It is in this encounter that the true essence of Leoda resides: the harmony between power and grace, energy and wisdom.
