GOLDEN KNOT MJOLNIR HAMMER PENDANT - STAINLESS STEEL

Gold Mjolnir Pendant with Norse Knotwork

The knotwork on this one is worked in gold against the dark steel, running down the haft and out across the face of the head. It is a broad hammer with some real thickness through it, and the contrast makes the pattern read clearly at arm's length. On the chain it hangs square and stays where it sits.

A Norse knot is drawn as one unbroken line. It doubles back through itself over and over, and nowhere along it will you find a loose end to pull. Carried on the hammer, the two say something together: protection, and ties that do not come undone. I make this for the man whose word ties him to something. The one who gave it once and never had to be reminded of it after.

I go over every piece by hand before it ships. The corners of the hammer head are rounded, so there is nothing sharp to snag a collar or dig into your skin. You can sleep in it and not notice. There is no hollow zinc alloy under a thin plating here. It is solid 316L surgical steel, the kind that will not tarnish and will not turn your skin green, no matter how hard you sweat in it. It ships in a dark wooden Viking gift box, the way a piece like this should be handed over.
