QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How were Viking shields actually made?
From butted wooden planks, usually around 80 to 90 cm across, faced with hide or linen and fitted with an iron boss over a central hand grip. The Gokstad ship burial produced dozens of examples.
How heavy is this pendant?
21 g in 925 sterling silver, which makes it a substantial piece rather than a light everyday charm.
Does it come with a chain?
This listing is for the pendant on its own. You can pair it with any of our Viking chains and necklaces.
Is it handmade?
Yes. Every piece is made to order by hand, so small variations between pieces are normal.
