When can I expect to receive my order?

I usually have your item in the mail within 3 business days. Items are shipped small packet. Delivery within Canada is usually 5-10 days. Delivery to the US is now 1-2 weeks, due to extended processing time within the US with the new regulations. Delivery to other international locations usually takes 2-3 weeks. There can also be delays during peak shipping seasons, so please shop early!

Do you use recycled materials?

I support sustainability and reducing environmental impact wherever possible in my business. The bronze used in my pieces is formulated with approximately 10% tin and 90% copper. All of the copper used comes from recycled scrap copper. My silver pieces are cast from reclaimed silver. The cardboard, foam, and zip lock bags used in packaging my pieces for shipping are all reclaimed. I am enrolled in the Lucid system in Germany ( #DE5683538432755) to insure the shipping materials I use to ship to Germany are dealt with in Germany.

Viking keys and locks are elaborate and fascinating. Keys were also symbolic of status and position .
I have created my key based on numerous Viking keys I have looked at. I have combined elements from different sources to create a key that is unique, yet retains the essence of a key from the Viking age.

My key is 2 1/4 inches long and just over 3/4 inch wide. It is cast in bronze. There is a 3 mm space at the top of the key so that it can be attached to a chatelaine or a festoon.

"This image of powerful women controlling access to the house has led to an enduring image of the Viking Age matriarch wearing keys on her belt or hanging from a brooch to show that she was the gatekeeper in the household." Dr Roderick Dale, University of Nottingham
