Sun wheel necklace

Necklace with an interpretation of the historical sun wheel. The necklace comes in 2 chain lengths, so remember to choose the length you want.

The sun wheel is one of the oldest historical symbols, originally used by Finno-Ugric peoples in northern Russia. They often had a practical function, such as decorating the belt, but were also used as a holder for knives, scissors, keys, etc., and often in connection with a needle tent/nállugoahti, which is a container for sewing needles.

Juhl's silversmith's historical jewelry tells of the time when the nomads on the Finnmarksvidda plateau carried their valuables with them in the form of jewelry. The jewelry was easy to handle, a pleasure for the owner, and at the same time it was an important trade and barter item. Since Bergen had a trade monopoly in Northern Norway, you can find jewelry with roots from there, as well as from trade with countries such as Russia, Finland and Sweden. The Historical series is a collection consisting of copies, delicate modifications and variations based on this jewelry.
