This hand-forged Viking hair pin is made from solid steel using simple forging techniques. The form is historically inspired, with an emphasis on function and durability rather than decoration.
Each pin is forged by hand in small batches and finished for everyday use. Designed to securely hold thick or long hair, it will develop a natural patina over time, reflecting regular use and individual wear.

I first sold these at a renaissance fair years ago when running a Viking exhibition with my troop guided by my mentors. This design evolved naturally as more people requested different nuances. I offer these as a nostalgic nod to my formative years as an apprentice. Enjoy!
