Jormungand, also known as the Midgard Serpent, is a colossal sea serpent in Norse mythology, and one of the three children of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. According to legend, Jormungand was so large that it could encircle the entire world, Midgard, and grasp its own tail, symbolizing the ouroboros. This serpent is a key figure in the mythological narrative of Ragnarok, the end of the world, where it is prophesied to engage in a deadly battle with the thunder god Thor. Their confrontation is foretold to be so fierce that it will lead to mutual destruction, with Jormungand's venom ultimately killing Thor. Jormungand's presence in Norse mythology represents the themes of chaos, the cyclical nature of time, and the inevitable destruction and rebirth of the world.
The Jelling art style is a distinctive form of Scandinavian art that emerged during the late Viking Age, around the 10th century. Named after the Danish royal site of Jelling, where some of the most famous examples were discovered, this style is characterized by its intricate and fluid animal motifs, often featuring intertwined creatures and elaborate knotwork. The Jelling style is known for its use of ribbon-like animals with elongated bodies and stylized heads, which are often depicted in dynamic, interwoven patterns. This art style was commonly used in various forms of decoration, including jewelry, runestones, and metalwork, reflecting the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Viking Age. The Jelling art style not only showcases the craftsmanship of the Norse people but also serves as a visual representation of their mythology and beliefs.

This ring is slightly adjustable and will fit sizes mentioned in the variations, but bending it repeatedly can weaken the metal. It is recommended to only bend it one time if needed to adjust the fit to the finger you've chosen and not to bend it again to suit another finger as repeated strain will weaken the metal.
