Stud Earring, Valknut Gold Plated

Stud earring with the Valknut - an ancient Viking symbol associated with the god Odin. Suitable for both men and women. Sold individually or as a pair.

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.

The Valknut (warrior’s knot) is an ancient symbol that appears on runestones as early on as the 8th century. It is associated with the god Odin and symbolizes his power to lay bonds upon the mind, turning men helpless in battle, or making them fearless and filled with battle-madness, intoxication and inspiration.
