Questions about the product Viking bracelet with dragon heads, bronze

What material is the Viking bracelet with dragon heads made of, and is the size of the piece of jewelry adjustable?

The Viking bracelet is made of bronze. The size is adjustable, as the bracelet can be carefully bent to fit the wrist.
What symbolic meaning do the dragon heads on this bracelet have in Viking culture, and how should the piece of jewelry best be cared for?

In Viking culture, dragons symbolize strength, protection, and bravery; jewelry with dragon heads was meant to bestow power upon the wearer and protect them from harm. To care for and preserve its value, the bracelet should be removed before showering or swimming. Furthermore, it is recommended that the bracelet not be pulled apart when putting it on, but rather the ends bent gently sideways past each other to prevent material fatigue.
What historical finds served as inspiration for the design of this bangle, and for what wrist circumference is the piece of jewelry ideally suited?

This Viking-style bracelet is modeled after the dragon heads found in the famous Oseberg ship burial in Norway. The piece is ideally suited for a wrist circumference of 15 to 19 cm.
What significance did arm rings have as a status symbol or currency in the Viking Age, and how can the size of this model be individually adjusted to the wrist?

In the Viking Age, arm rings were far more than mere jewelry; they served as an important status symbol, expressing wealth, dignity, and social standing, as well as a pledge of allegiance to a leader. They also functioned as a form of portable currency (hacksilver), since in a time without widespread monetary systems, pieces of metal could be hacked off to pay for goods. To adjust the size of this model, hold the arm ring at both ends and gently and slowly bend it until the desired opening angle is reached, avoiding applying concentrated pressure to delicate decorations such as the dragon heads.
