Shieldmaiden-Inspired Viking Amulet Made from Recycled Brass in Ukraine
This handcrafted miniature Mjolnir pendant is cast in solid brass and finished with real red enamel. Inspired by the Viking Age and traditional Norse designs, the pendant reflects the protective strength and symbolism of Thor’s hammer in a compact, wearable form.
The material used is brass recycled from spent cartridges collected in Sumy, Ukraine, during the 2022 defense of the region. Artisans use the lost wax casting method, a technique known since Viking times, where each pendant is individually sculpted in beeswax, cast, and hand-polished. The result is a detailed and durable historical replica with symbolic significance.

Symbolism and Inspiration:
Mjolnir, also known as Thor’s hammer, appears throughout Norse mythology as a weapon of power, protection, and justice. This version of the pendant is compact and designed with shieldmaidens in mind, representing inner strength and determination.
The red enamel highlights the pendant's central form, while the material tells a modern story of transformation—military brass turned into an item of historical and cultural meaning.
Historical Note:
In mythology, Mjolnir was forged by dwarven smiths for Thor, with its short handle a result of Loki’s interference. Despite the flaw, it remained the most powerful of the gods' treasures. Later legends speak of it being made from a star's core or from a storm’s essence, reinforcing its divine status.
