Viking Valknut Cross Pendant — Norse & Celtic Knotwork

This highly detailed Viking Valknut Cross Pendant combines the iconic Valknut symbol with intricate Norse and Celtic-inspired knotwork.

The central Valknut motif forms the visual focal point, surrounded by deeply carved ornamental patterns that create a strong hierarchy of detail while maintaining a clean and recognizable cross silhouette. The combination of Nordic ornamentation and Celtic-style interlace gives the pendant a distinctive historical character.

The model has been carefully proportioned for real-world jewelry production and comfortable wear. At approximately 35.5 mm in height and 25.1 mm in width, it provides a strong presence without appearing oversized.

The integrated bail features an inner diameter of approximately 3.5 mm, making it suitable for medium to thicker chains, including Byzantine and rope-style chains. Its integrated construction eliminates the need for a separate jump ring while maintaining a stable and natural pendant orientation.

The model is optimized for high-resolution resin 3D printing, lost-wax casting, and CNC production.
