Silver Long Sword Luxury Pendant

The Zweihänder, or two hander, emerged in early sixteenth century Germany as the largest of the longsword family. Up to 180cm long, weighing up to 4kg. It was carried by elite Landsknecht infantry, the Doppelsöldner ("double pay men"), who used it to break pike formations. The form survived as ceremonial weapons. The bearing swords of city guards and royal escorts. Long after it became impractical for combat. Several originals are now in the Royal Armoury in Stockholm.

The Zweihänder. Resolve. The vertical blade. The quiet threat. Discipline.

The Zweihänder, the two handed great sword of late medieval and early Renaissance Germany and the Low Countries, was the longsword in its largest form.

Worn at the throat in pendant form, the figure is of conviction visible. A wearer whose decisions are not negotiated.

For the resolved. The long blade in solid silver, worn long against the chest. The piece sits with a weight that reminds you it is there. The sword is the oldest symbol of resolve we know. It does not need to draw to mean what it means.
