{ SYMBOLISM }
Thor's Hammer Symbolism / Thors Hammer Lore - Thor's Hammer (also called Mjollnir) is a symbol of protection, creativity, and fertility. Often used to hallow things and people, including the Bride at weddings. In essence the hammer symbolizes holiness, lightning and enlightenment. It is a creative tool, like a blacksmith's hammer, and is used as a weapon of war only against the forces of cosmic chaos symbolized by the Giants -- against which Thor fights in many Norse myths.

------------------
{ SOLID STERLING SILVER }
This Pendant is made from Solid 92.5 Sterling Silver. Real Sterling NEVER contains nickel or lead. Our charms, pendants, earrings and findings listed as Sterling Silver in this shoppe are NOT silver plated or silver filled; they are NOT silver plated, or 'silver colored', 'antique silver' or sterling silver plated -- that is just plain confusing!
A Sterling, SS or .925 quality mark that is stamped directly on the object OR attached as a tag is supposed to indicate that the entire piece is Sterling Silver. According to the National Gold and Silver Act if a piece is marked or has an attached tag that says “sterling”, "SS" or “925,” it must be SOLID sterling Silver, not sterling silver plated or sterling silver filled. SADLY -- Lately many pieces coming out of different countries have a 925 stamped on them -- After we've had them assayed, however, it turns out many of these pieces are only 20 to 60-percent silver (not 92.5) -- Remember, ANYONE can stamp a piece -- .925 stamps are readily available on the jewelry making market.

We hope this information helps you when buying your Sterling Silver jewelry.
