MJOLNIR HAMMER RUNE PENDANT - STAINLESS STEEL

Thor's Hammer Necklace with Runes on Every Face

This hammer is squared off and blunt, with runes cut into every face of the head and down the haft. There is nothing delicate about it. It fills the hand when you pick it up, and on the chain it hangs straight down and stays there. I wanted it to feel less like jewelry and more like a tool you happen to be wearing.

What always stayed with me about Mjolnir is that Thor could throw it as hard as he wanted and it came back to his hand every time. However far it went, it returned. That is the part I put into this one. A man takes his hits and gets thrown further than he planned. What counts is that he finds his way back to himself, still holding what he was given to hold. I make this for the man who keeps coming back.

I go over every piece by hand before it ships. The corners of the head are rounded, so it lies comfortable against the chest all day, with nothing sharp to hook on a shirt or scratch you. I only work it in solid 316L surgical steel. Cheap zinc-alloy pieces are hollow, they tarnish fast and they turn skin green. This one will not do either. It arrives in a dark wooden Viking gift box, ready to give the day it lands.
