In Norse mythology, Loki was a shapeshifter and a trickster god who would either help or hinder depending on his mood. There are many stories of him both helping and harming his fellow gods, sometimes both in the same tale. For all the annoyance and pain he caused others, Loki was clever, resourceful, and occasionally downright heroic, which is why his place in the Norse pantheon was always assured.

This Mask Of Loki jewelry set is an homage to Loki’s Wager, a tale from the Prose Edda which tells the story of how Loki avoided losing his head - literally - to angry dwarves through use of clever wordplay. When they realized they could not decapitate Loki as agreed, the dwarves stitched his mouth shut as punishment, which is why this style of Loki art is widely considered a talisman of this complicated and fascinating Norse deity.
