In Germanic mythology, rings held sacred meaning. They symbolized a sworn bond between the wearer and his ruler, tribe, or god. Torques and bracelets were not only found among Germanic peoples, but also among Scythians, Celts, and other Indo-European peoples. Indo-European society was strongly oath-bound, based on the concept of cosmic order. This order was guarded by gods and supported by a class structure in which oaths and symbolic ornaments such as torques confirmed social relations.
