Thor's Hammer of Awe, Gold Plated

A custom, contemporary design inspired by authentic Viking artifacts. It depicts the mask of one-eyed Odin and the Ægishjálmur symbol. Also known as the 'Helm of Awe', it is an old magical symbol that induces fear in enemies and protects against abuse of power. Production and copyrighted design by Grimfrost.

It comes with a layer of 18K gold applied to the steel core through a process called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) plating. PVD plating is an advanced technique that uses a vacuum coating process to apply a thin layer of gold onto the surface of a base metal. This method produces a gold layer that is significantly more durable and longer-lasting than conventional gold plating. 18K PVD gold-plated jewelry costs a fraction compared to solid gold, making it accessible to a broader audience. It lets you enjoy the elegance of gold without the hefty price tag.

Mjölnir (English: Crusher), is the hammer of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. An amulet depicting Mjölnir is known as a “Thor’s Hammer” and it was worn by the Vikings as an amulet of protection and power. Ægishjálmur (old norse: helm of awe/helm of terror) is mentioned in the old sagas, such as in the Völsunga Saga, where the dragon Fafnir wears one between his eyes. Scenes from the Völsunga Saga are depicted on a rune stone in Uppland Sweden that is dated to around the year 1000.
