Thor's hammer pendants

  Here is some of my Mjolnir pendants that I often wear. 

1. Ivory. Note, this isn't my own Mjolnir but a new one in a shop. I've had it for 17 years and it's not white as snow like the one pictured anylonger. It's turned yellow with age! It's pretty and warm.  


2. The carnelian. This is another one that feels gentle and warm. It isn't cold or severe on the skin. This particular Mjolnir carved from a gemstone, Carnelian that is associated with fire and passion. The gemstone is a healer for bones and kidneys.

3. Pewter. One of the kindest metals for sensitive skin is pewter. This Mjolnir has a red glass stone in the centre. My boyfriend has one of these but his glass stone is green. There is something artistic and gothic looking about these detailed pendants.


Many have been wondering: What is a Mjolnir? It is a powerful weapon that belonged to the god of thunder, Thor. The mjolnir is also called Thor's Hammer, it's mentioned in the Poetic Edda. The symbol of Mjolnir has been worn as a pendant throughout the Viking world, and became popular again in modern times. 
Others have been asking: Is it a masculine pendant? Yes but it also can be worn by women. Thor is a god that protects all people, including men, women and children. Some jewels have fashioned the Mjolnir to be in so many varieties, from bone, alloys, wood, stones, gems and metals that are base, noble and precious.
