Scandinavian Jewelry That Will Last A Lifetime

Jewelry comes in all shapes, sizes and styles. Distinctive design is what sets your look apart from your friends or family members. What’s great about Scandinavian jewelry is how versatile it is — these pieces are drawn from authentic Nordic motifs that bring a different feeling to whatever you already own. Below we’ve picked a few favorites that will add something new to your usual go-to items.

Nordic Dala Horse Krystal Earrings

The dala horse is something we’ve touched on a few times on the blog. These earrings put that symbol of good luck and strength right where people will notice it. They’re small posts, but they still pack a punch, and they come in rose and gold so you can match them to whatever metal you already wear. For more on the symbol itself, read about the dala horse.

Runic Hjarta Silver Pendant

Some of the most striking Nordic jewelry is also the simplest. The Runic Hjarta pendant is a silver heart carrying a runic inscription — hjarta is Old Norse for heart. It goes with everything, it reads as modern rather than costume, and it carries a piece of Norse writing over a thousand years old. Wear it on a chain or a length of leather, whichever suits the neckline.

Runic Orka Silver Pendant

If the heart isn’t quite you, the Runic Orka pendant is its counterpart. Orka means energy, strength, the capacity to get things done — a good thing to wear on a day that needs it. Like the Hjarta, it’s high-quality silver with a clean, detailed finish, and it works just as well over a summer dress as it does over a sweater in November.

Amber Bracelet on Silver Band

If you’re more of a bracelet person, the Amber Bracelet on a Silver Band is the one to look at. Baltic amber is fossilized tree resin, tens of millions of years old, and no two pieces are the same color. Set against silver, it’s understated enough for every day and warm enough that people ask about it.

Lingonberry Silver Necklace

This Lingonberry Silver Necklace takes the berry that turns up on every Scandinavian dinner plate and renders it in silver. It’s a small, quiet piece with a lot of affection in it — ideal if you want something Nordic that doesn’t announce itself. There’s a blueberry version as well if you prefer.

Viking Ship Necklace Pendant

For something with more presence, the Viking Ship pendant carries the single most recognizable shape in Norse history. It sits well on a longer chain and pairs naturally with our Thor’s Hammer pendants if you’re building a collection rather than buying one piece.
