The four Brísingar dwarves forged Brísingamen, a necklace of surpassing beauty that Freya coveted so fiercely she paid each craftsman a night in her bed to possess it.
Freya obtained Brísingamen from four dwarf craftsmen, the Brísingar, each of whom demanded a night with her as the price for their share of the forging.
Heimdall recovered the Brísingamen from Loki after the trickster stole it from Freya. The two fought in the forms of seals near Singasteinn, and Heimdall won the necklace back.
Loki stole Brísingamen from Freya on Odin's orders, slipping into her sealed chamber as a fly and unfastening the clasp as a flea while she slept, then delivering the necklace to Odin.
Odin, displeased by how Freya obtained Brísingamen, commanded Loki to steal the necklace and returned it only when Freya agreed to stir eternal war between two mortal kings, binding her forever to battle's grief.
