Torben Christjansen, an amateur archaeologist, made a fascinating discovery while exploring the Danish island of Lolland. He found a tenth-century Thor's hammer amulet made from precious metals which measure approximately 2.5cm in length, and there can be no question of what its maker intended it to be. The hammer is inscribed with the words ‘This is a hammer.'
Please note, you are buying a handmade piece of jewellery and we will not always have it in stock and I may require some time to make it!
If you want this in other materials such as gold please email me for a quote at caledonianforge@gmail.com We are always open to alter and change any of our pieces to suit your tastes. In the listing the piece might look darker than the finished piece. We artificially darken our silver pieces with liver of sulfur so that the details will show up in photographs but as standard the finished piece will be shiny and polished. If you'd prefer us to darken it then please let us know and we will happily do this for you.
This is a hand carved wax model which has been cast in high quality by Jewellery Casting Scotland and finished with a mixture of power tools and traditional hand tools like files and saws.

We also have a seperate listing with silver chains here if you desire: https://caledonianforge.com/products/sterling-silver-chain?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web
This is a large pendant so I recommend the Belcher chain
