According to Norse legends, the hammer of the thunder-god, Thor, called Mjölnir, is a blunt tool and sacred symbol of blessing used to protect the world. Although it was forged by the dwarf brothers Brokkr and Sindri after some mischief by Loki, it ended up with a handle that was too short, which only made Thor’s iron grip more iconic.
Mjölnir flies back to his hand when thrown, crushes giants like Hrungnir, and sparks thunder and lightning as it travels. It isn’t just a weapon, Thor uses it to hallow - to sanctify weddings, oaths, and land, protecting both Ásgarðr and Miðgarðr.
As huge fans of Norse symbols, we decided to create a list of our best Thor's hammers jewelry for men and women! Let's start.
Thor's Hammer symbol meaning
To understand Mjölnir is to see why a simple T-shape holds so much: defense and blessing, storm and harvest, courage and care. Whether you meet it in an ancient poem, a museum case, or a modern pendant, the hammer radiates the deep sense of standing firmly, protecting what matters, and carrying your strength with reverence.
So, if you choose to wear Thor's hammer necklace as a symbol, here is the meaning behind this relic.
Strength: Physical power and inner resolve to face what looks immovable.
Protection: Thor is the warder of worlds and a sign of blessing.
Fertility & Blessing: Mjölnir is associated with sanctifying land, marriages, and seasons, linking storms to growth.
Order & Justice: The Thor's hammer restores balance when giants (and other forces of disorder) push too far.

Another sterling silver Mjölnir is shaped in the iconic Wolf Cross / Olaf Cross silhouette. We wanted to show how the hammer and cross motifs meet to symbolize the Norse-Christian crossroads of the Viking age. By the way, this pendant is inspired by a 10th-century archaeological find near Fossi, Iceland. You can also see the cross symbolizing faith. As Christianity began to spread through Scandinavia, the visual resemblance between Thor’s hammer and the cross made conversion gentler for many Norse pagans.
