This replica solid pewter Viking period pendant was found in Fossi, Iceland, and dates from the 11th century. The hammer combines both Thor's hammer and the crucifix and dates from a time when the majority of the population followed both religions. It features a cross hammer with a dragon head and its mouth as bail.
Silver is made from high quality certified and graded Sterling Silver 925 in Birmingham and it is stamped to authenticate this.
100% pure silver is too soft to make durable jewelry out of. As a result, the industry standard is to combine 92.5% silver with 7.5% of other metals to create a strong alloy that can be used in jewelry. This alloy is what is referred to as Sterling Silver 925.
