Eons before he stormed his way into American pop culture, the Norse protector-god Thor, son of Odin and wielder of the mighty hammer Mjölnir, was one heck of a popular guy. When he wasn’t slaying giants to defend the celestial and earthly realms from danger, he was bestowing blessings on the commonfolk and sending rains to make crops grow.
When thunder roared, it was said to be Thor careening through the skies in his goat-drawn chariot. When lightning flashed, it was his hammer crashing down on the skulls of monsters. A paragon of masculine strength and courage, Thor was revered above all other deities, and Viking warriors would set to sea wearing amulets in the shape of Mjölnir.
If you can pull off a hammer amulet, I tip my horned helmet to you, sir. If your tastes lean more modern, try Thor’s Tungsten Ring on for size. Swedish for “heavy stone,” tungsten is renowned for its strength and durability and is presented here in a hammered finish of thunder-cloud black offset by flashes of lustrous gold plating. The effect is one befitting of the brawny storm god — or any man seeking to call on his legendary power. Take heed, though: Because a quality tungsten ring can set you back hundreds, you’ll need to strike fast to claim this deal.
When you want to make a strong impression, don’t bother treading lightly — hammer it home with Thor’s Tungsten Ring.
