Stainless steel · Silver or Black · 60cm wheat chain
The spear that gave warning. In Njáls saga, Gunnar's atgeir rang out before it struck.
Secure, encrypted checkout
Gunnar's atgeirr sang before it killed. The saga says men heard the note and knew what was coming — a barbed spear that gave warning, then gave no quarter.
A three-pronged spearhead in stainless steel: a central blade flanked by two barbs curling back on themselves, every surface cut with Norse interlace and darkened deep in the engraving. The collar is banded like a haft bound for war.
Not a weapon. A statement of intent.
At 60cm, the pendant sits on the upper chest on most men.

The story behind it
In Njáls saga, written in Iceland around 1280, Gunnar of Hlíðarendi wins an atgeir from the viking Hallgrímr. The saga says it rang out loud before a killing, so men knew what was coming.
This pendant is a stylised take, not a replica of a find: a central blade, two barbs curling back, interlace engraving darkened in the recesses. The atgeir was a long-shafted polearm; the three-pronged shape is ours.
A note from Grégor
To everyone who has worn our pieces:
We're closing North Hoard. Ad costs kept climbing and cheap copies are everywhere. We'd rather stop properly than cut corners.
What's left is reduced. Once a piece sells out, it won't be made again.

What the hoard is saying
Wore it every day for three months straight — workouts, showers, rain, whatever. Zero tarnish, zero fading. The weight alone tells you it's real. First piece that doesn't feel like jewellery, feels like an heirloom.

You can feel the metal the moment you pick it up. Not hollow plated junk. Dark finish holds up, engraving stays sharp. Exactly what I wanted — nothing flashy, just solid and intentional.

Been hunting for a ring that doesn't scream and doesn't vanish either. This lands dead center. Subtle rune detail, matte finish, sits right on the finger. Got a few comments without asking for them.

Ordered Monday, landed Friday. Packaging was minimal and right — raw linen, small card, no plastic. The piece itself looked better in hand than on the website. That's rare.
Thomas R. Verified Buyer
I don't do loud jewellery. This sits dark and quiet on me, and people still notice. The engraving is delicate but the weight is heavy. Fair price for the finish — most brands charge triple for less.
Edward M. Verified Buyer
Honestly surprised at the build quality for this bracket. Solid stainless steel, properly finished edges, no rough spots. Daily wear for six weeks now, still looks day one. Getting a second one for my brother.
