Viking Knot Thor's Hammer 925 Sterling Silver Pendant – Authentic Mjolnir Protection Amulet

Feel the Weight of Norse Heritage Around Your Neck

The moment you hold this Thor's Hammer pendant in your palm, you understand why Vikings wore these as symbols of strength. At 16 grams of solid sterling silver, it carries a reassuring heft—not so heavy it pulls at your neck during a long day, but substantial enough that you feel its presence against your chest. The oxidized recesses create deep shadows that make the intricate knotwork practically leap from the surface, while the polished silver edges catch light with every movement.

Running your thumb across the face, you can trace the intertwined serpents that form the classic figure-eight pattern on the hammer head. The Celtic-inspired braid running down the handle has crisp, defined edges that prove this wasn't stamped from a mold and forgotten—each piece shows the deliberate hand of a skilled silversmith who understands what this symbol means to those who wear it.

For the Modern Heathen: Daily Spiritual Connection

If you practice Ásatrú or follow the Norse spiritual path, this Mjolnir serves as more than jewelry. The generous bail opening accommodates chains up to 6mm thick, meaning you can pair it with a substantial wheat chain or traditional leather cord for rituals. The 31mm x 45mm dimensions make it visible enough to serve as a conversation starter about your beliefs without overwhelming your appearance at work or formal gatherings.

For History Enthusiasts: Museum-Quality Design at Your Fingertips

The serpent motifs aren't random decoration—they reference the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr, Thor's eternal adversary. This design draws inspiration from archaeological finds across Scandinavia, particularly the elaborate hammers discovered in Swedish burial sites. Wearing this connects you to over a thousand years of craftsmanship tradition, making it an ideal piece for Renaissance faire participants, historical reenactors, or anyone who appreciates Viking Age artistry.

For Style-Conscious Individuals: Rugged Meets Refined

Pair this pendant with a simple grey wool sweater for understated Nordic aesthetic, or let it anchor a leather jacket ensemble for a bolder statement. The antiqued finish means it complements both casual and dressed-up looks without appearing costume-like. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, the hand-finished details ensure your hammer has subtle variations that make it uniquely yours.

Key Specifications That Actually Matter

• 925 Sterling Silver Construction: Won't turn your skin green or degrade over time like plated alternatives. Develops a beautiful patina with wear that enhances the knotwork details.
• 31mm x 45mm Dimensions: Large enough to showcase the intricate serpent design, compact enough to wear comfortably under a shirt when discretion matters.
• 16 Gram Weight: Provides the satisfying sensation of quality silver without neck fatigue—you'll forget it's there until you want to remember.
• Handcrafted Finish: Each oxidized recess is hand-darkened, meaning the contrast between raised silver and shadowed depths varies slightly on every piece.
• Generous Bail Opening: Accepts most standard chains and cords without requiring additional jump rings or modifications.

Common Questions Before You Buy

Will the dark oxidation wear off over time?
The oxidized areas may lighten slightly with heavy daily wear, which many owners prefer as it creates a lived-in look. If you want to restore the deep contrast, any jeweler can re-oxidize sterling silver inexpensively, or you can use a liver of sulfur solution at home.

Can I wear this in the shower or swimming?
Sterling silver handles occasional water exposure, but chlorine and salt water accelerate tarnishing. We recommend removing the pendant before swimming and drying it thoroughly if it gets wet. A quick polish with a soft cloth keeps it looking sharp.

Is the pendant double-sided or flat on the back?
The back features a smooth, slightly concave surface with a quality stamp. This hollow-back construction reduces weight while maintaining the substantial front design—it sits flat and comfortable against your chest rather than digging in.
