| I'm probably going to order one of these pendants soon.
They're handcrafted and cost around $50.
I thought it'd be a nice pendant for a viking/pagan/folk metal fan, so yeah 
KABBARA THOR'S HAMMER PENDANT
"Kabbara, our largest, most detailed Hammer. Based on the elaborate (and now famous) Thor's Hammer Pendant found at Kabbara in Scania, Sweden, it contains much symbolism associated with the god Thor: Starring eyes, a stylized beard, an eagle's beak, swirls of the World Serpent, etc. As with the 1,000 year old original, our 4mm chain (included) passes right through the Hammer head (no jump ring required). A large, detailed Hammer, with a natural, stone-like finish (see photos). Approximately 1 5/8" long x 1 1/2" wide x 3/8" thick. Weight: 1.09 ounces (31 gm). A heavy, solid (not hollow) Hammer."
If anyone's interested, you can find more types of Thor's Hammers over here:

And lots of other stuff..

50 bucks is actually quite cheap.
If you take a look at other websites who make them in silver and stuff, you'll be looking at $100-$250 (!)
Plus, it's handmade and as historically accurate as possible, so it sounds like a really good deal

It is 
Here's a description of how they make them:
What “Hand-made” means to us...
When we decided to offer our own line of Celtic and Viking jewelry pieces we had some very definite ideas:
| 1. We would hand-make each piece ourselves— no contracted mass-production by strangers.
2. Although hand-made, we would keep the prices reasonable and “sane”.
3. The designs would be based on historical knowledge & research.
|
Each piece that we offer begins its life with us:
| 1. After deciding on a specific design, an “original” is either carved in wood, or crafted out of clay.
2. A delicate mold, with a limited lifespan, is then made from the original.
3. Metal is heated and a test cast is then poured until a satisfactory casting is achieved.
4. The test casting is filed, ground, polished, and worked by hand with various tools.
5. The finished casting is then presented to family and friends for appraisal.
6. If the general consensus is good, the item is added to our Catalog.
7. Several castings are then poured and finished (one at a time) using the delicate mold, to create our “in-stock” supply.
 ... etc.
8. This process continues until eventually the mold disintegrates (caused by exposure to the high temperatures of molten metal).
9. At that point we are forced to decide whether to produce another mold from the original (a somewhat expensive and time consuming process) or to retire the design. Some pieces will be produced again, while others will be retired from the Catalog. So in one sense, all pieces that we offer are Limited Editions — eventually.
|
That's what “Hand-made” means to us.

What exactly do you mean by 'political signification'?
