Nordic jewelry, often inspired by Viking and Scandinavian history and mythology, encompasses a wide range of styles and symbols derived from the Nordic cultures of Northern Europe, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. This type of jewelry often features motifs from Norse mythology, such as Thor's hammer (Mjölnir), Odin's ravens (Huginn and Muninn), Valknut (knot of the slain), and runes, the ancient alphabet used by the Norse.
