Boar Head Pendant — Solid .925 Sterling Silver, 45 Grams
SKU: 3067
Two polished silver tusks curl outward from this boar's snout, framing a mouth that clamps down on a free-swinging ring. Pick it up and the ring clicks against the jaw. At 45 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, it’s a boar head pendant built to anchor a heavy chain.
Built For
If you’re drawn to Norse symbolism — the boar Gullinbursti belonged to the god Freyr, forged by dwarves with golden bristles that glowed in the dark. This pendant captures that same aggressive stance: nostrils flared, tusks bared, mane bristling down the spine. The oxidized detailing in the fur grooves gives it an aged, artifact-like quality that suits mythology collectors.
If you ride — 45 grams sits flat against your chest without flipping in the wind. The bail is wide enough for chains up to 5mm thick. And the door-knocker ring hangs forward, so it doesn’t catch on your jacket zipper.
If you collect animal pendants — this one’s a full 3D sculpt with detail on every side. The back of the skull is as finished as the front. Individual bristles run from the crown down to the base of the neck.
The Honest Take
Heads up: The ring in the boar’s mouth moves freely — that’s the whole point of the door-knocker design. But it also produces a faint metallic click when you walk or shift position. Barely audible outdoors. In a quiet room, you’ll hear it. Most guys stop noticing after the first day.
Under the Hood
Before You Buy
Q: Is the ring in the boar’s mouth fixed or does it swing?
It swings freely. The ring is threaded through the boar’s jaw — classic door-knocker construction, not welded in place — so it pivots as the pendant moves. That motion adds a bit of visual weight when it hangs, plus a faint metallic click against the jaw when you walk. Most people stop noticing the sound after the first day.
Q: What does the boar represent as a symbol?
In Norse mythology, the boar Gullinbursti was forged by dwarves for the god Freyr — a golden beast that could outrun any horse and light up the darkest night. Across Celtic and Greek traditions, boars represent courage, ferocity, and the refusal to back down. In biker culture, it’s stubbornness and raw power.
Q: How do I clean around the tusks and textured fur?
Polish the raised surfaces — tusks, snout, ring — with a soft silver cloth. Don’t dip the whole pendant in liquid cleaner. The dark oxidation in the fur grooves and nostril recesses is intentional. Strip it out and the boar loses all its depth and character.
Q: What size chain works with this pendant?
The bail fits chains up to about 5mm in diameter. A 3–4mm heavy link chain or a thick leather cord handles the 45g weight best. Anything thinner than 2mm will look undersized and may wear faster under the load.
