Viking Amulet Talisman Alphabet Pendant

Nordic Viking Style Pendant with Celtic Cross

The Viking Amulet Talisman Alphabet Pendant-with a Celtic cross, is a symbol that merges two rich historical traditions. Viking jewellery often features symbols of Norse mythology and reflects the artistry and beliefs of the Viking Age, while the Celtic cross is a distinctive form associated with an Irish Christian heritage. These pendants can be found in various materials such as sterling silver, bronze, and even hand-forged steel, each offering a unique connection to the past. Intricate knotwork and animal motifs are common, reflecting the interwoven nature of Celtic art and the robust spirit of Viking design. Such pieces are not only wearable art but also carry a sense of history and cultural fusion that continues to captivate enthusiasts around the world.

Jewellery Maintenance When caring for your jewellery, never use anything but 100% cotton as a polishing cloth since paper, polyester, and coarse fabrics often contain wood fibres or synthetics. These materials may impart fine scratches in the metal, especially on sterling silver. A polished appearance is the result of the metal smith’s effort to file, sand and buff the metal to a perfectly flat surface.  When even minor scratches occur, as seen under a microscope, the surface looks like the ragged edge of a saw blade, and light is bounced in and around those scratches like a voice echoing in the Alps.  An unmarred surface allows the light to be bounced back smoothly, with no echoes and results in a highly reflective surface.
