Viking Traveller's pendant imported from the U.K. Made in bronze. 2cm wide at widest part and 4cm long.
The design on the front of this pendant was taken from the Lillbjars picture stone found in Stenkyrka, Gotland, Sweden. The stone is approximately 70cm high and dates back to the 8th century CE.
The runic inscription on the back of this pendant translates as: Venture forth, safe from harm.
The bronze age began in Great Britain and Western Europe over 4,000 years ago. Both copper and tin were discovered, mined and fused together to form the alloy bronze, renowned for its strength and longevity.
Using recycled copper and Cornish tin, St Justin have recreated this ancient material. After casting it at over 1000 degrees celsius into an investment mold, the raw pieces are refined and polished to produce distinctive pieces of jewellery.
Supplied in a silver recyclable gift box. (Also available in pewter). NB The bronze is not as bright orange/brown as previous pieces manufactured by St. Justin.
