Hot forged using blacksmithing methods. Thor's hammer, Mjolnir earrings with our own design closeable earwire. These are not light earrings, they weigh around 4 gm. Each earring is unique, due to being individually made. The surface is not highly polished, but retains hammer marks as testament to the unusual, but ancient way the earrings where made. The pattern is done using Viking/Norse style stamp work and a patina gives the earrings an aged appearance.

What makes this pair of earrings special?

There are many, many THor's hammer earrings out there, so I wanted to share with you, why this one is different. Each earring is unique because, unlike most silver jewellery, the pendant has not been cast. The shape has been forged hot, much like iron, so no two will ever be exactly alike. This is the oldest way of forming jewellery, much replaced by the ease, versatility and quickness of casting. Still I believe there is room in the world for artefacts such as this, where every detail, including the earwire is hand made to our own design.


______________________________
Silver

I use solid Sterling silver, 925, on all of my silver jewellery. Sterling silver is slow to patinate naturally to a dark grey. On most items I deliberately patinate the silver in order to highlight the decoration or the design.

To keep the silver shiny, polish it with a silver cloth, such as the one provided. Gently rub the cloth onto the silver. The cloth will not remove the patina.

This piece has been individually hand forged to shape, not cast. As testimony to the ancient method the hammer marks have been left on the surface of the pendant. The surface has not been polished to the mirror finish you see on most silver jewellery.



_______________________
Hallmarking information

All items, over a certain weight, made out of precious metals, that are sold in the UK have to be hallmarked. This is why this Mjolnir has a set of tiny stamps. The stamps tell you quality of the silver, who is the sponsor or maker, where the item was assayed and which year. The hallmark is your guarantee that the silver is Sterling and at the same time it is my signature. The hallmark is discreetly placed on the side of the bail.
