"Red bearded Thor, the Vikings' favorite god, was the people's champion with his supernatural strength and feisty humor. When he swung his hammer, Mjölnir, Thor was invincible. Small hammers were often worn as tokens of identification and loyalty with Thor, bringing the wearer his protection and the gift of Inner Strength. Mjölnir is spelled in runes on this hammer."

"The Viking civilization flourished during 700 AD to 1,000 AD throughout northern Europe. Artists and craftsmen, working in gold, copper, silver and bronze, evolved a distinctive design style in which strands are plaited and interlaced with animal-like creatures. The Vikings concealed hoards of ornaments and silver, believing that what was buried with the dead would be enjoyed in the afterlife. Through archaeological finds of treasure-trove, we can experience the wonders of the Viking age, some of which are recreated in this range of pendants."
