Rune Pendant – Ingwaz – Argentium Silver Wax Seal – Antique
Ingwaz stands raised on a wax seal base in solid Argentium Silver 940. I define the rune against a deep antique field. The surface feels organic and irregular.
An 18″ sterling silver bead chain with an antique finish is included.
Ingwaz forms the origin of the letters “Ng” or “Q.” It symbolizes the god Ingwaz and fertility. Traditionally, it represents stored strength and inner potential. Because of this, it reflects a dormant inner fire. However, that fire does not remain hidden forever. Instead, it awakens in its own time. Therefore, this rune speaks to growth, patience, and emerging power.
I base my runes on the Elder Futhark. Germanic peoples used this writing system from the 2nd to the 10th centuries. As a result, it forms the foundation of our modern alphabet.

Design & Feel
The wax seal form feels ancient and grounded. Moreover, the raised rune contrasts clearly with the darkened surface. Therefore, the symbol stands steady and contained. Overall, the pendant carries a sense of quiet strength and potential.
Materials & Care
This pendant is made in Argentium Silver 940. Argentium silver is brighter and harder than traditional sterling. In addition, it is nickel-free and slower to tarnish.
The antique finish is permanent and never needs polishing.

I form the wax seal base in solid silver. Then I solder the rune in place for strength and clarity. After that, I apply the antique finish to deepen contrast. Finally, I refine the edges and attach the bail.
