Description

Named after Níðhöggr, the serpent who endlessly gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil deep beneath the world tree, this pendant felt like a natural fit for serpentine. The stone’s dark, mottled greens and natural scale-like patterning look almost alive, and there is something fitting about wearing a stone that looks like it came from the roots of the earth itself.

Stone: Serpentine
Wire: Oxidised copper
