Behind the Design: Sverra is named for the Old Norse root Sverra, meaning to swell or whirl. By utilizing 8 mm rings, the Box weave structure creates a more voluminous and breathable fluid structure, emphasizing the technical geometry of the interlocked rings. The Gun Metal Black plating of the iron rings is specifically chosen for its subtle dark iridescent luster that mimics the appearance of Blóðsteinn (the Old Norse term for Hematite). This finish emphasizes the industrial strength, fluid structure and sentinel inspiration of the series.
