Unity

The round shape of the ring and the intertwined threads – threads of life – symbolize eternal love. Rings, bracelets and necklaces made by coiling metal wires and threads of different thickness were popular in the entire Baltic region during the last few centuries of the Iron Age. They can be found even among Finland’s prehistoric findings, all the way from the southern coast to the northernmost areas of Lapland. The Kalevala Unity ring is based on a bronze ring found in Halikko.
