This pendant is a handmade 3D bronze viking long ship based on one made in pewter that needed to be remade in sterling silver due to wear and tear. It's made in either .925 sterling silver or antique bronze and measured 2.2cm high plus the loop and 2.4cm wide. Longships were a type of ship invented and used by the Norsemen (commonly known as the Vikings) for trade, commerce, exploration, and warfare during the Viking Age.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.

Bronze is an alloy that consists of a mixture of approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Producing bronze is a less toxic process than producing brass as brass is a combination of copper and zinc, and the manufacturing process often produces zinc oxide which is toxic.

Because bronze contains copper, it can turn your skin green whether you have an allergy or not. Bronze and copper turn your skin green because when the copper reacts with your sweat and the acids from your skin, it produces copper chloride. Copper chloride is a green substance that then rubs off on your skin. If you are prone to sweating, your bronze jewelry will definitely turn your skin green. This chemical reaction can also be prevented by painting any part of the jewelry that comes in contact with your skin with clear nail polish or clear acrylic enamel.

Purchased two pendants from this Etsy shop...

Purchased two pendants from this Etsy shop and have been wearing both together on a chain I already had. Am really enjoying the pendants and have gotten remarks on them. I'm Scandinavian, so I had certain expectations of the quality and workmanship. Well made, not cheap-looking. Finely detailed. Fast and safe ship. Would return again to this Etsy seller. Thank you! :)
