The Viking earrings in the Borre style are made of high-quality jewelry bronze or silver-plated bronze. The Borre style, also known as the griffin style, is characterized by distinctive knotwork ornaments, ring chains, and striking beast or griffin motifs, often depicted in a symmetrical, geometric structure without clear boundaries.
How large are the Viking-style earrings in the Borre style, and is it possible to obtain this piece of jewelry in a silver-plated version?

Are the Viking-style earrings in the Borre style suitable for everyday wear, and are there any special care instructions for maintaining the shine of the bronze?

These Viking-style earrings in the Borre style are ideal for everyday wear and complement contemporary clothing.

Which historical sites or artifacts served as the specific model for the griffin motif of these Viking earrings in the Borre style?

The predatory animal motif of the Borre style is primarily based on archaeological finds from the eponymous burial mound field of Borre in Norway, as well as precursors from Oseberg shipbuilding and sites in Broa. Specific models include historical artifacts such as Viking Age garment brooches from Haithabu and jewelry from Scandinavian grave goods of the 9th and 10th centuries.
