The Heart of Fáfnir is inspired by the moment after Sigurd kills the dragon—when the “real” power isn’t the hoard, but the heart.
In the saga, Fáfnir’s heart is cut out and cooked over a fire because it’s believed to hold the dragon’s strength and hidden knowledge. While testing the heart, Sigurd burns his finger and tastes the dragon’s blood, and that blood is said to awaken a new awareness—enough to reveal betrayal before it happens. That scene is the core of this piece: the heat, the blood, and the warning that power comes with consequences.
This pendant translates that symbolism into wearable form:
Porous black volcanic stone — like cooled lava, a reminder of transformation through fire.
Gold rune inlaid on the face — an emblem of oath, consequence, and what’s worth guarding.
Blood-red resin caked at the crown and running down — representing the heart on the coals and the “burned blood” moment that triggers awakening.
A talisman for those who want the story close—but wear the meaning: clarity, protection, and disciplined desire instead of the hunger that made Fáfnir a monster.
