Berkano Pin L066

Also known as "Berkana" or "Bjarkan," the Berkano rune is a symbol in runic alphabets, specifically the Elder Futhark and Anglo-Saxon runic systems. It represents the letter "B" and carries various meanings, including growth, fertility, nurturing, and new beginnings. The rune is associated with the birch tree, a symbol of renewal and purification. In divination and runic magic, Berkano signifies feminine energy, protection, and the creative forces of nature. It can represent the nurturing aspects of a mother or caregiver and is often linked to the concept of birth and rebirth. The Berkano rune encourages personal growth and the development of relationships, making it a powerful symbol for transformation and positive change in one's life.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
