Meticulously crafted reproduction of the forged iron chain and amulet ring with 4 Thor's Hammers that was found in Birka, Sweden. The ring can be opened in case you'd like to replace the pendants.

The measurements from the original find have been kept, but we've added two extra links to the chain - now totalling 9 instead of the original 7 - which makes it easier to slip over the head. The additional links can easily be removed to get an exact copy of the original find.

Due to the total length (or the lack of it) of the original item, there are theories that it could actually be worn on the head, with the hammers dangling on the forehead. It could then be a part of a religious outfit.

The original find has the identity number SMH 107872_HST at the Swedish History Museum: Link to original find

Notes and tips:

- The iron may leave coal stains from the forging process on clothing. To avoid this, you can either try wiping it clean with a soft cloth, or if you don't mind non-historical means of protection, you can apply a clear coat to it (any spray clear coat will work). 

- Do not wear it all day and night. Unlike gold or sterling silver it's not recommended wearing iron against your skin for extended periods of time. 

- If the piece gets wet it will cause it to rust.
