rune on melted boulder – wax seal pendant – secrets
This Rune is called Pertho. It is the origin of the letter ‘P’. Pertho symbolizes ‘luck’.
“The rune Pertho is considered very mysterious. It is assigned to the P letter, but this sound does not exist in the Germanic language. Therefore, it is assumed that this rune comes from another country. There is a lot of disagreement, because even in literature there is not much to find about Pertho. However, it is clear what the rune symbolizes: a cauldron. It contains secrets that he guards and protects deep inside.”
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.
