Rune Pendant – Mannaz – Argentium Silver Wax Seal – Antique
Mannaz 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.
Mannaz forms the origin of the letter “M.” It means man and represents humanity. Traditionally, it reflects the self within the whole. Because of this, it symbolizes cooperation and shared strength. In addition, it reminds us to accept guidance and support. Therefore, it speaks to unity, perspective, and collective growth.
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 direct. Overall, the pendant carries a sense of connection and shared strength.
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.
