Rune pendant – letter ‘L’ – Argentium silver wax seal – antique
This rune is called Laguz – the origin of the letter ‘L’.
Laguz – means either Water or Lake. It symbolizes flow and renewal.
“Laguz represents all that is within and without, that which flows and is in motion. It represents the source of organic life in the universe and is the rune that initiates into life. It wards off cowardice and offers protection from betrayal. The rune bent downwards is the rune of initiation.”
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 dome the silver puddle, and then fuse the Rune I have made to it.
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’.
The entire pendant is then antiqued. The antique finish is permanent and it never needs polishing.
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.
