Rune pendant – letter ‘T’ – antique Argentium silver wax seal
This Rune is called Tiwaz. It is the origin for the letter ‘T’.
Tiwaz means ‘the God Tyr’ or ‘victory’.
The Runes I make are based on The Elder Futhark. This is the writing system used by Germanic peoples in the 2nd to 10th Centuries and is considered to be the basis for our current alphabet.
I make a melted puddle of Argentium Silver resembling a wax seal. Then I fuse pieces of square wire to make the Rune symbol.
When I have both pieces ready, I solder the Rune to the base. I dap the entire piece for a gentle dome. Then the bail is added and lots of polishing.
The last step is to antique the pendant and polish the high spots back to shiny silver. The antique finish is permanent and it never needs polishing.
LAND * I am * SOURCE ENERGY OF ROCK – Steadfast – Confident – Eternal – Nurturing
Argentium Silver is a high quality silver with a silver content of 940. It has the unique feature of having a small amount of Germanium added. Argentium Silver is whiter, harder and slower to tarnish. And it is always nickel-free.
This pendant comes with an 18″ Sterling Silver bead chain – with an antique finish.
