The Vegvisir, also known as the "Icelandic Compass," is an ancient magical symbol (galdrastafur) of guidance and direction. Tradition holds that whoever carries this amulet will never lose their way, even in the fiercest storms and on unknown paths. It is the ideal talisman for those seeking clarity on their journey or embarking on a new chapter in life.
This pendant is born from the fusion of ancient mysticism and world-class craftsmanship. It is crafted from Swamp Ash, a premium, lightweight tonewood specifically selected for the making of musical instruments. Each piece is shaped and finished entirely by hand, while the symbol is laser-engraved to ensure the highest precision and definition in every detail.
The wood is protected with a vegetable oil finish, which nourishes the ash and enhances its natural grain. Measuring 31 x 31 mm, the Vegvisir is lightweight and designed for comfortable everyday wear.
The pendant comes on an adjustable paracord strap, chosen for its extreme durability. In place of a standard bail, it features a guitar string ball-end—a signature detail of the Dogstar philosophy, reimagining musical components as unique design elements.
Every pendant is delivered in the Dogstar Wood Lab FSC-certified cardboard packaging, ensuring a responsible and sustainable choice.
Customizations or bespoke engravings are available upon request. Please contact me directly at: info@dogstarlab.it
