It's big. The original was hand carved in wax here in NYC in 2012. I wanted something that would read well as a statement piece. Being that these are really expensive to cast in sterling I wanted to offer a more approachable price. I have shops at Renaissance Festivals and the patrons love these. They look great on a black dress shirt or a centerpiece element on a simple dress as well as a costume element.
I overbuilt these to be sturdy and last a lifetime. The bail the chain goes through is heavy and the hole is wide. I cast these in solid lead free pewter and plate them in silver. They are sealed with a lacquer. The whole process happens here in New York City.

This rune Othala : Inheritance.

This ancient Norse rune stone represents inheritance, home, and land. Our ancestral knowledge has been passed down through generations through this tradition. In addition, it illustrates security, stability, prosperity, and family ties. This rune stone denotes loyalty and honoring of one's family heritage and traditions. As well as symbolizing universal understanding and unity, Othala represents the connection between people from different cultures, backgrounds, and origins. Our shared experiences serve as a reminder that we are all connected and bound together by these ancient rune stones. When this rune stone is drawn in reading we are encouraged to recognize the importance of tradition in our lives and to learn from one another.

Just so it's said yeah I know this symbol has been co-oped by the radical right. I'm not down with that. As a German American I claim my heritage outside of that.

The Elder Futhark (or Fuþark), also known as the Older Futhark, Old Futhark, or Germanic Futhark, is the oldest form of the runic alphabets. It was a writing system used by Germanic peoples for Northwest Germanic dialects in the Migration Period. Inscriptions are found on artifacts including jewelry, amulets, plateware, tools, and weapons, as well as runestones in Scandinavia, from the 2nd to the 10th centuries.

In Scandinavia, beginning in the late 8th century, the script was simplified to the Younger Futhark, while the Anglo-Saxons and Frisians instead extended it, giving rise to the Anglo-Saxon futhorc. Both the Anglo-Saxon futhorc and the Younger Futhark remained in use during the Early and the High Middle Ages respectively, but knowledge of how to read the Elder Futhark was forgotten until 1865, when it was deciphered by Norwegian scholar Sophus Bugge.[1]
