These are excellent, mind telling how do you make them?

I use mainly some traditional forging techniques, but sometimes i have to use also electric drill, files and modificated "center punches" for the detail work.
Like first i just forge one "blank" thor's hammer, or some other pendant shape from steel and whet it cools down i make different decorative spot patterns with hammer and custom punches with round, triangle or square tips and finally i only heat the pendant again if i want more darker finish on the surfaces. (Original dark patina usually wear off, if i have to use files or punches/stamps after the forge work..)

My favorite is the cross, well done and interesting construction method!

Thanks. It's also very strong way to attach pieces together.

Do you ship to the U.S.? Or would their being made of iron make the shipping too costly?

I'm sorry, but i don't know anything about that shipping thing.
Only time when i sent something outside Finland was over five years ago and i remember that it was a quite difficult case. (I sent two rare comicbooks in one Spanish collector.)
Bank/Payment things looked also very complicated back then, so i haven't done anything like that for a while.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that ... these are very attractive and I would have loved to buy some. Keep me in mind though if you ever change your mind, please.

Thank you all for the comments. I don't like that very dull backround in this picture, so i try to shoot new one in tomorrow and replace it to this same spot.
I forged a lot more pendants today, so i put probably few new unique pieces in that final photograph also.

Very cool ironsmithing! Particularly the interwoven Celtic cross.

Huh, They're pretty nice.
The cross-shaped one on the lower row is the one I liked the most :0
