For the Boundless Voyager
Wear the Valknut – Odin’s sacred symbol of the slain warrior’s journey – with this zinc alloy bead forged to mirror 9th-century Gotland artifacts. The triple interlocking triangles, first carved on the Stora Hammars stones, represented the Allfather’s power to bind and unbind minds in battle. Our bead channels this legacy through a 8mm (0.31 in) antique-plated design, crafted using the same lost-wax techniques Viking metalsmiths employed for Odin’s amulets.
Features
- Odin’s Knot mastery – 8mm (0.31 in) diameter honors Valknut carvings from the Tängelgårda stone
- Rune-etched surface – Mimics Elder Futhark inscriptions on Migration Age weaponry
- Alloyed for Valhalla – Zinc core withstands modern quests (2g/0.07 oz) without tarnishing
- Multi-realm versatility – 5–8mm bore fits beard braids, skald necklaces, or arm-ring charms
- Battle-ready finish – Antique bronze/silver plating won’t flake like weak níðingr (coward’s) iron
Materials
Hypoallergenic zinc alloy (nickel-free)
Electroplated antique silver/bronze finish
Size Details
8mm diameter x 11mm height (0.31 x 0.43 in). Viking craft note: Hand-forging may cause ≤0.2mm (0.007 in) texture variations – proof it wasn’t made by dwarven machines.
Care Instructions
Buff with a linen cloth; flee from Ægir’s storms (prolonged water exposure). Store in a dry skrin (box) between voyages.
