==Modern influence== [[Alan Garner]] wrote a children's [[fantasy]] novel called ''[[The Weirdstone of Brisingamen]]'', published in 1960, about an enchanted teardrop bracelet. [[Diana L. Paxson|Diana Paxson's]] novel ''Brisingamen'' features Freyja and her necklace. [[Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab]] has a perfumed oil scent named Brisingamen. Freyja's necklace Brisingamen features prominently in [[Betsy Tobin]]'s novel ''Iceland'', where the necklace is seen to have significant protective powers. The Brisingamen feature as a major item in [[Joel Rosenberg (science fiction author)|Joel Rosenberg]]'s [[Joel Rosenberg (science fiction author)#Keepers of the Hidden Ways|Keepers of the Hidden Ways]] series of books. In it, there are seven jewels that were created for the necklace by the Dwarfs and given to the Norse goddess. She in turn eventually split them up into the seven separate jewels and hid them throughout the realm, as together they hold the power to shape the universe by its holder. The book's plot is about discovering one of them and deciding what to do with the power they allow while avoiding Loki and other Norse characters.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/joel-rosenberg/the-fire-duke/|title=THE FIRE DUKE by Joel Rosenberg {{!}} Kirkus Reviews|language=en-us}}</ref> In [[Christopher Paolini]]'s ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]'', the word "brisingr" means fire. This is probably a distillation of the word ''brisinga''. [[Ursula Le Guin]]'s short story ''[[The Dowry of Angyar|Semley's Necklace]]'', the first part of her novel ''[[Rocannon's World]]'', is a retelling of the Brisingamen story on an alien planet. Brisingamen is represented as a card in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' Trading Card Game]], "Nordic Relic Brisingamen". Brisingamen was part of MMORPG ''[[Ragnarok Online]]'' lore, which is ranked as "God item". The game is heavily based from Norse mythology. In the ''Firefly Online'' game, one of the planets of the [[Himinbjörg]] system (which features planets named after figures from Germanic mythology) is named Brisingamen. It is third from the star, and has moons named Freya, Beowulf, and [[Alberich]]. The Brisingamen is an item that can be found and equipped in the video game, ''[[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]]''. In the French comics ''[[Freaks' Squeele]]'', the character of Valkyrie accesses her costume change ability by touching a decorative torc necklace affixed to her forehead, named Brizingamen.
