Nordic amulet for protection and courage

Nordic amulet designed by Florence MAQUET for David’s jewelry design contest

This amulet was made for the purpose of finding your own path of freedom and to focus on your own inner fire throughout your life's journey.
This amulet's design is inspired by Viking culture. The Vikings pioneered trade, exploration, and colonization of new lands for over 300 years before any other European power. Despite being pirates and adventurers, they were the first white people to arrive in America, long before Columbus. The meaning of the name Vikings in old Nordish is Pirates and indeed robbing was a way of life for them.

The Vikings symbolize freedom and true social equality. There is a story of a messenger who was sent on behalf of a French prince to seek out the leader of the Vikings, in order to negotiate with him and talk him out of attacking Paris. The messenger came back unsuccessful and dejected, He reported that when he requested to talk with their leader, the Vikings replied, "we are all leaders." The Norse Amulet was made by David according to a design that was made by Florence MAQUET as part of David’s jewelry design contest. Florence wrote about it the following description:
My drawing is a blend of older Norse motives, used in the Scandinavian culture. It's a blend of amulet, shield, and old brooch from Norway. I wish you will realize it as a unique piece of jewelry that you can spread further or propose besides the other Viking motive you already have on your display.
