Paired oval brooches connected by festoons of beads and chain were a common feature of Viking Age women's dress, documented in finds from sites across Scandinavia. The materials varied by wealth and region — glass, amber, and semi-precious stones were all used in surviving examples.
This piece borrows that layered festoon structure, set with green onyx and garnet-toned stones and turquoise accents, finished with a brooch-style clasp. Cast in zinc alloy, it reads as a bold layered necklace inspired by the period rather than a museum reproduction.
