Unique Dragon Boat Inspired Viking Ship Charm - Sterling Silver - | Made in USA
The dragon-prowed longship that terrorized coastlines from Lindisfarne to Constantinople -- cast in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D Viking ship charm measures 5/8" x 5/8" and weighs a substantial 5.2 grams.
Each charm begins as a hand-sculpted wax original. Molten sterling silver poured at over 1,640 degrees fills the intricate dragon prow, overlapping hull planks, and shield-lined gunwale with a precision that flat stamping simply cannot achieve.
Viking longships were engineering marvels -- shallow-drafted enough to navigate rivers yet seaworthy enough to cross the North Atlantic. The Scandinavian shipbuilders who created them used clinker construction, overlapping planks riveted together for strength and flexibility. This charm captures that distinctive hull profile and fearsome dragon figurehead. A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.
An ideal gift for Norse mythology fans, Scandinavian heritage seekers, history buffs, or anyone who feels the pull of the open sea. String it on a chain as a bold pendant or add it to a history-themed charm bracelet.
