The story & symbolism
Angrboda is a Jotünn from Norse Mythology. She is the mother of Hel, Fenrir and Jormungandr. In addition to that she is mentioned as the mother of all wolves and living to the east in a place called Järnvid, which means Ironwood. Her name consists of two words Angr and Boda which still exist in Scandinavian languages and mean Sorrow Foreteller/Bringer. Below you can find all the small details of the amulet and how I interpreted her:
Primeval appearance
Her apperance I decided to make more primeval, even though we don't know how far back the name Angrboda stems to but the concept of her's can be considered fairly ancient. Also she is mentioned as the mother of all wolves so that gives us a hint that she has been around for a while. Her attire consists of tusks, teeth and claws - this is reference to burials from Scandinavian stone age where individuals were buried with a set of these necklaces.
Hel, fenrir & jormungandr
At the tips of her braids are her three children. The giant wolf Fenrir, who is foretold to devour Odin during Raganrök. Hel, the ruler of helheim - an afterlife from Norse Mythology with a shore filled with corpses is at. She is also said to be half dark/hidden in her face so that's why I've depicted her as such here. And Jormungandr, the midgard serpent, who is foretold to slay Thor. All of these I've done in a runestone-like decorative style to pay homage to the Viking age and where these sources come from.
Mother of wolves
As mentioned above, Angrboda is said to be the mother of all wolves. Thats why I've depicted her holding onto wolves on the front side.
Inspired by viking age pendants
She is worn by the braid as are all of my goddess pendants. This is inspired by a find dating to the viking age where a shield-maiden figure was found that was worn like this. This piece can also be used as an altar decoration as the braid is incorporated into the design rather than just drilled through.

How to measure
Items are measured by being laid flat on the ground, not by circumference. If you have any items that fit you well, lay them on the ground and measure them to get the best fit
