Material

The pendant is inspired by the carved ship’s figurehead raised from the River Scheldt in Belgium.
This oak carving, dating from the 4th–5th centuries AD, once adorned the bow of a vessel.
It depicts a fearsome mythical creature with a gaping mouth, eyes, and teeth.
Such figures were believed to serve as talismans — warding off evil spirits
and protecting the ship during voyages across unknown waters.

The artifact stands as a testament to a transitional era — between the late Roman and early Germanic periods —
a time that paved the way for the later art of the Vikings.
Today, the original “Head of the Scheldt” is preserved in the British Museum —
a silent witness to the ancient sailors’ faith in the power of symbols and the spirit of the sea.

Our pendant reimagines this vivid energy — stylish, modern, and full of character.

About Viking Heirloom Collection

Our VarVar Jewelry team created the Viking Heirloom collection for people who seek origin.

Each piece begins as a fragment, an artifact, a carving, a shape half-lost in the dark. We took those remnants and forged them anew, not as copies, but as talismans for our own journey.

This jewelry carries deep meaning of war and wisdom, myth and memory, of the hidden forces that shaped the ancient world, and still shape the modern man.

We don’t wear history. We become part of it.

Viking Heirloom - the story, carried forward.

Packaging

We carefully pack every VarVar talisman in an elegant branded box, so your jewelry is perfectly protected and ready to guide your journey. Our packaging doesn’t just protect, it celebrates your journey and the symbol you wear.
