Knarr

Product Description

Knarr necklace is a mixture of amazonite, agate, amber, quartz, and yellow jade in shade of creams and blues reminiscent of the shades of a calm sea.  Knarr measures 24 inches in length and closes with a silver tone “s” hook.  The pewter pendant measures 1 inch x 1 ¼ inches.  This necklace is a tribute to the great Norse merchants who captained and sailed the “Knarr ships”, which was a type of merchant cargo ship with a wide hull made for long voyages. It drafted deeper, was wider but shorter than the famous Viking longships but the Knarr ships held more cargo, as much as 24 tons, while operating with a smaller, highly skilled crew
