Norse mythology jewelry, hand-carved in heavy S925 sterling silver, with 24K fire-gilded gold placed only where it means something. This is our collection for the northern world: Odin and his ravens, the bear, the stag, and the tree of life carried over from Celtic carving. Five pieces, each drawn and carved over months, none of them cast from a catalogue pattern.
Odin Necklace
Son of the Forest Signet Ring
Son of the Forest Cuff
Our Odin Necklace is a round shield of solid silver, 31 grams and carved seven millimetres deep. Celtic knotwork runs the outer ring, twin axes cross behind, and the two ravens, Thought and Memory, open their wings on either side. The brightest gold sits over the eye Odin gave up for wisdom. Read the story behind it in Thought and Memory: Odin's Two Ravens, and why he hung on the world tree in Tree of Life vs Yggdrasil.
The Roaring Bear Ring has a mouth fire-gilded in 24K gold, granulated borders, interlace beasts along both shoulders and four natural garnets; see The Bear's Shirt for what the bear meant in the North. The Forest Spirit Deer Ring is a stag ring in sterling silver, its antlers worked into gilded knotwork and runework carved along the sides; the Eddas put four stags in the branches of Yggdrasil, and we wrote about them in The Deer Who Listened. The Son of the Forest Ring is a tree of life signet ring, the tree pierced in openwork and fire-gilded.
The Son of the Forest Cuff sets the tree of life between twin swords on a heavy open bangle, 15 millimetres wide, with a Swiss blue topaz in each pommel. It took seven months from first sketch to finished silver.
Viking-age goldsmiths filled every surface with ornament and worked tiny grains of metal into their borders; we follow the same instincts. Every piece is carved by hand, then the gold is fused into the silver by fire at around 900°C, a narrow window below gold's melting point of 1064°C, and detailed under a 40× microscope. You can read how in our fire-gilding. No surviving Viking-age image of the world tree exists, so our tree designs are honest modern interpretations; for the history, read What Did the Vikings Actually Wear? Our pieces are made to be worn every day, not kept as costume. We make no claim that any piece brings strength, luck or protection.
