A fantastical brooch made from Bronze in the form of a coiled snake that instantly reminds the viewer of a central figure in Norse mythology. The snake’s head emerges from one side, with defined eyes.

The serpent form probably relates to the Norse myth of Jormungandr (Jormungand), the Midgard Serpent, a child of Loki and a giantess who according to legend grew so large that it was able to surround the earth and grasp its own tail, forming an ouroboros. According to legend, when it releases its tail, Ragnarok, the final battle of the gods that will result in Earth becoming completely covered in water, will begin.

Due to the handmade nature of the product, the actual piece may be slightly different from the item in the picture. Each piece of jewellery from the Nord Emporium workshop is handmade by me. You can order personalisation as hand-engraving of your rune or initials. Engraving is an option for jewellery that has enough space. The surface may be finished with high gloss or satin (matt).
