This is the Víðarr and Fenrir armband in copper inspired by a detail on Gosforth Cross in Cumbria. It depicts Víðarr (Odin's son. God of vengeance.and rebirth) killing Fenrir the wolf at Ragnarok. During Ragnarok, the gods and the giants battled and almost all everyone was killed. Odin was devoured by the wolf Fenrir. Víðarr attacked the wolf to avenge his father’s death. He wore a special shoe that had been crafted for this particular moment with which he kicked open the wolf’s lower jaw, and whilst holding the beast’s upper jaw open chopped and hacked its mouth to pieces.

From Wikipedia.

The Gosforth Cross is a large stone Anglo-Saxon cross in St Mary's churchyard at Gosforth in the English county of Cumbria. Formerly part of the kingdom of Northumbria, the area was settled by Scandinavians some time in either the 9th or 10th century. The cross itself dates to the first half of the 10th century. The cross is 4.4 metres tall and made out of red sandstone. It is estimated to date from 920-950 and is still in fairly good condition.

Unless otherwise stated your piece will come coated in a tough invisible transparent lacquer to protect the finish however over time and depending on how its treated this coating may break down. As such, depending on your body chemistry and atmospheric conditions this piece may leave a harmless greenish deposit on the skin. This is easily washed off and can be minimized by keeping the ring clean and dry or lacquering/waxing it yourself.
