ORMR — Serpent Scale Hoop Earrings

The story behind it

Coiled around the world.

Norse myth puts a serpent, Jörmungandr, in the sea around the world. Thor once hooked it while fishing: the scene is carved on the Altuna stone in Sweden and, most likely, on a 10th-century stone in Gosforth church, Cumbria. In Old Norse, ormr is serpent; dreki, dragon.

These hoops are a stylised take, not a replica: serpent scales wrapping the whole 20mm hoop, fine dotwork between them, polished on an oxidised ground.

A note from Grégor

To everyone who has worn our pieces:

We're closing North Hoard. Ad costs kept climbing and cheap copies are everywhere. We'd rather stop properly than cut corners.

What's left is reduced. Once a piece sells out, it won't be made again.

Built to outlast me

Wore it every day for three months straight — workouts, showers, rain, whatever. Zero tarnish, zero fading. The weight alone tells you it's real. First piece that doesn't feel like jewellery, feels like an heirloom.

James T. Verified Buyer

Heavier than it looks online

You can feel the metal the moment you pick it up. Not hollow plated junk. Dark finish holds up, engraving stays sharp. Exactly what I wanted — nothing flashy, just solid and intentional.

Oliver H. Verified Buyer

Finally found my piece

Been hunting for a ring that doesn't scream and doesn't vanish either. This lands dead center. Subtle rune detail, matte finish, sits right on the finger. Got a few comments without asking for them.

Henry W. Verified Buyer

Shipped fast, arrived clean

Ordered Monday, landed Friday. Packaging was minimal and right — raw linen, small card, no plastic. The piece itself looked better in hand than on the website. That's rare.

Thomas R. Verified Buyer

Subtle detail, serious impact

I don't do loud jewellery. This sits dark and quiet on me, and people still notice. The engraving is delicate but the weight is heavy. Fair price for the finish — most brands charge triple for less.

Edward M. Verified Buyer

Worth more than what I paid

Honestly surprised at the build quality for this bracket. Solid stainless steel, properly finished edges, no rough spots. Daily wear for six weeks now, still looks day one. Getting a second one for my brother.
