    My brother has a celtic/nordic hammer. Your hammer is it Thors hammer? Mjolnir? The knotwork is on the handle, right? It is supposedly making the face of Odin. A Viking/Nordic/North Celtic god. Thor, Tor, Thur!
    Post some pics of the hammer!

    The hammer is a Thor's hammer, reproduced from one found in Odeshog, Ostergotland, Sweden in the 10th century.

    This is the original hammer on which mine is based. Mine is in pewter.

    Depending on the occasion-the hammer in either pendant or ring form.

    Also, but not every day, The Irminsul as a pendant, and for special occasions The Armill.

    Linked to the above, today I'm wearing a boar kilt pin.

    From that my affiliations should be fairly obvious, but this is not the place to expand upon them-for more information have a look at the Kith of Yggdrasil site.

    I never worn any jewellery although sometimes wear a Pictish wolf brooch on my jacket or jerkin.
    However, I do enjoy making Celtic jewellery ( there's some examples here )

    I like working with silver and titanium and although the titanium is harder to work the colours that can be obtained make it worth while. The ring in the middle of this photo is probably my favorite as I was trying to create the effect of the sun bouncing off of ocean waves.


    and here's a silver and titanium part for a Harley

    I have 2 pieces I wear everyday.
    First, I have a celtic knot necklace that my wife gave me when we were
    dating. The second is a continuous celtic knot wedding band.
    Similar to this one:

    My wedding band has a Claddagh engraved in it. I wear Catholic medals under my shirt and one is a Celtic cross. When I finish up my current weight loss I am going to buy myself a Celtic knot ring for my right hand. (Down 60 lbs but still have 30 more to go.)

    Like KML, I have a few items I wear daily. On the right hand, just two simple rings: On my index finger, a celtic knot ring and on my ring finger a Claddagh:



    The rings are silver and I've worn both of them for several years now (you can see how scratched and beat-up they are in the photo); however, I've been wearing rings like this for more than 20 years. Generally, for me, silver rings like these last anywhere from 3-5 years and I replace them when I need to.

    The only other piece of jewelry I currently wear is a St. Patrick medal around my neck that's on a stainless steel 'forever chain' (no clasp, just a continuous chain):



    On October 7, 2006 I'll be wearing this 14k white gold band on the ring finger of my left hand :
