Thor's Hammer - Pendant, Pewter, large

With the power and help of Mjolnir, the magic hammer, the Nordic thunder god Thor was always victorious. It made him invincible when he used it at the legendary fights with the giants and the demons who lived in Utgard. Hence, this talisman according to old beliefs protects its wearer and helps him to succeed in business.
 
This pendant is made of pewter. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. Pewter is a popular material for jewelry production, since it is a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance.
