About the Item

This charming solid 18 karat gold pendant is modeled after the traditional Swedish Dala horse, a beloved symbol of Scandinavian heritage. It captures the graceful simplicity and folk artistry associated with this centuries-old motif. The Dala horse (“Dalecarlian horse”) originates from Dalarna, Sweden, where hand-carved wooden horses were first made in the 17th century as tokens of friendship, protection, and good luck. Over time, they came to represent strength, courage, and traditional craftsmanship, enduring qualities embodied in this finely cast gold version. The pendant features delicate engraved detailing that evokes the painted harness and saddle patterns of original Swedish wooden Dala horses. A sturdy suspension loop allows it to be worn on a chain or charm bracelet. A delightful and meaningful piece of Scandinavian design, this gold Dala horse charm beautifully combines folk symbolism with timeless elegance.
