C O M LV, #4633, $49.00 J EW E L R Y 32 The Story behind the Namejs Ring 33 As ancient lore has it, the three ancient tribes of Latvia were engaged in constant strife, which made them vulnerable to foreign attacks. Foreign armies did not hesitate to exploit this weakness. But in the 13th century, a Latvian chieften by the name of Namejs realized that the only way the three tribes of Latvia could defend themselves against foreign invasion was through unity. He commissioned a smith to forge a ring, which would symbolize the inherited bond between the three tribes. Three separate bands wrap around each other forming a braid, with a thread-like chain binding the three, making them one. Over the years, the Namejs Ring has become one of the foremost expressions of Latvian identity. 16 Josta symbol ring, sterling silver & bronze, width 3/8”, LV, #4634, $36.00 17 Krusta symbol ring, width 1/4”, LV, #4635, $39.00 18 Stencil symbol ring, width 3/8”, LV, #4636, $49.00 19 Finnish Bell earrings, length 3/8”, All jewelry is crafted with Sterling Silver.
