Necklace with hand-carved rune 'Bärsärk' in genuine silver

Necklace made of stone with hand-carved bind rune in silver. Loop and chain made of  stainless steel.

The pendant consists of a stone found on one of Sweden's beautiful beaches. We have carved a bindrune that symbolizes the berserk and set it in genuine silver. The stone is varnished to protect the silver and bring out the stone's natural color and pattern.

The berserker was a special elite and combat fighter who attacked his opponent with the strength and fury of a bear. The berserker was at his best when he fought alone and was therefore often used as a bodyguard. The word berserker means "man dressed in bear skin", bear skin and before fighting in a group they used to provoke each other dressed in bear or wolf skins to roar like wild animals during the fight and scare their enemies. The word 'champion' can also be derived from the berserkers as they were often deployed in the front line during battle.

They are said to have sworn allegiance to Odin and were therefore also called Odin's warriors. A berserker fought with the enemy until they, or they themselves, died.
