Jewelry existed before cleaning products. Nevertheless, the viking loved jewelry very much and learned to take care of it.
Onion juice was very popular in Scandinavia. This juice is able to bring the shine back to a darkened product. Take an onion, cut it and rub on your jewelry. Then let the juice act for a few hours, then wash it off with clean water and let it dry.
An idea
At the beginning of 2017, in the midst of a career change, the idea of making a living from his passion gradually took hold in Stevan's head.
It was then that the idea of a site offering quality Viking jewelry and accessories with modern techniques, but respecting ancestral traditions, was born.
The beginning
After months of drawing, creation, doubt. La Taverne du Viking officially opens in November 2017, in order to stand out from competing stores La Taverne du Viking chooses a 100% handmade and made-to-order creation.
Our mission? Sharing our passion with everyone through our creations while remaining responsible and made-to-order manufacturing.
Stronger
After 3 years of opening and more than 20,000 satisfied customers all over the world, La Taverne du Viking closes, the world is paralyzed by a virus.
But we are not remaining idly faced with our fate, we are taking advantage of our forced closure to think and work on new products.
That's when in May 2020, we are back stronger with 90 new products!
Together
In our 5th year full of projects. The war affects our employees in Ukraine and as bombs explode under their heads, they continue manufacturing and shipping orders with disproportionate force.
Together we are committed to multiplying our strengths to continue our mission. La Taverne du Viking then begins a shift, offering new products, the multiplication of resellers, partners and delivery within 48 hours on certain products.
The Great Raid
5 years passed and thousands of happy customers, La Taverne du Viking is expanding its collection offering more quality products and always created by hand: axes, drinking horns, clothing, beard beads...
After two crises and a pause in our projects, we are still working on the creation of a physical store, but not only that.
We want to open a unique place that immerses you in the magical culture that unites us all and that Awakens the Viking that sleeps among you™.
