Silver Filigree Freya's Sun Shield Pendant

Another of my shield maiden pendants, I made this beautiful sparkling necklace bright and cheerful! Reflecting the sun, the multiple disks on the front of the pendant are said to ward off evil spirits, bringing light to the darkness. This pattern is based on historical nordic jewelry from the 19th century, when women adorned their bridal finery to ensure trolls, goblins and other evil sprites wouldn't carry them off. I love the notion of protective jewelry or amulets offering such charming protection, and even in these modern times, it feels quite right.

The pendant has a beautiful natural peridot stone on the bail, which also brings a bright focus to the necklace, and reminds me of lovely summer days and green, growing things.

Gift the strong warrior woman in your life with this lovely talisman necklace, and bring the warmth of summer to her heart.
