Rune pendant – letter ‘S’ – Argentium silver wax seal – antique
The ‘Sowilo’ (also known as the ‘Sol’) rune represents ‘Sun’ – wholeness and energy.
It is the origin of the letter ‘S’
“Sowilo embodies strength and courage on all levels. It stands in the positive interpretation for good health, lived sexuality and the conviction to be extremely successful.”
The Runes I make are based on The Elder Futhark. This is the writing system used by Germanic peoples in the 2nd to 10th Centuries and is considered to be the basis for our current alphabet.
I make a melted puddle of Argentium Silver resembling a wax seal. I solder the Rune I have made to the silver puddle.
Each melted boulder – also called a ‘wax seal’ – is handmade from Argentium silver that I have melted and shaped while the silver is still hot. I melt solid Argentium silver, until it is soft but not fluid – and then, using a jewellers pick, I manipulate the silver to resemble a historical ‘wax seal’.
I make each Rune by hand cutting and shaping Argentium silver square wire. I fuse the Rune into its form before attaching the completed Rune to the Melted Wax design pendant I have prepared for it.
LAND * I am * SOURCE ENERGY OF ROCK – Steadfast – Confident – Eternal – Nurturing
Argentium Silver is a high quality silver with a silver content of 940. It has the unique feature of having a small amount of Germanium added. Argentium Silver is whiter, harder and slower to tarnish. And it is always nickel-free.
