_________________
A LITTLE REMINDER:
Nowadays shipping is ... trouble. It takes time. Sometimes it will take many weeks outside Norway.
Internally in Norway sometimes 10 days.

My Norwegian customers: Send me a convo, og mail me trollsmed [!at] trollsmed.com before ordering to noe be double taxed.
Around the world: Shipping now a days is not as it should be. We have no control of how long it will take from Norway. If you want registered sending, please convo me, its very expensive from Norway.

I make viking beads, glass lampwork beads, ceramic beads, godesses, and viking jewellry with beads. I make items to help you build your apron necklace, and soon to come: a how to pdf to make the apron pieces.

You will also find a selection of buttons and jewelry with traditional norwegian patterns as Kroting and Saum or Valdresrose.
As the local beadmaker in Njardarheimr, Gudvangen Norway, I also make beads on a clay kiln in Gudvangen. Many of you might have met me there - I will fill this shop with the runes, beads and items found in Njardarheimr, made by me, and they are NOT sold anywhere else. Bindrunes, runes, lampwork beads, hooks and start sets for reenactment.

I very seldom make many copies of finds, I think: What about all the beads that are not found? But its important to me that viking jewellry dont look like barbie or disney.... the necklaces and viking stuff need to look authentic and made from real materials. Now and then I make a full copy set of a museum bead set. Convo me if you want me to make one, or to ask if its possible.

Vikings did not have plastic beads, crystal glass beads - nor nickel casted serial produced jewellry and blingbeads made in China! They dont belong in an apron necklace. They collected, one bead at a time. It was their values.

You might find sets with a few commercial beads in the set, as I think vikings traveled and brought home beads... and I enclose my handmade beads. I am sure the foreign beads are good or handmade. Vikings got beads from all over the world, in addition to the ones they made themselves.

All items at my other shops can be moved to Etsy if you want to shop with me!

ABOUT SHIPPING:
Norwegian shipping is run by Norwegian Posten, at their rates. They are almost as US, a litthle higher.

If you shop at least 5 items, DO NOT PAY, convo me first, I need to weight them and calculate each packet to get the most affordable weight in a packet, and make you a listing of your own.
If I send you an image of your packet, I have sent it. If you want tracking, the prices in Norway are listed
I dont do it if you dont ask me to and you have to pay the price that I find when I send it. 1 US dollar is appr 10 NOK:
Pris på posten.no Pris på Posten Pris på posten.no Pris på Posten
1 312,– 382,– 348,– 418,–
2 338,– 408,– 410,– 480,–
3 364,– 434,– 472,– 542,–

Few people will, if the order is not a lot of value or special order.
This is not fun, but we dont have control. I have experienced 5-6 weeks. It does noe help to yell at me, its sent. And I have never lost a package from Etsy.

Remember: I pack recycled!
heart me :-) And the small folks!
