Description
Torc, or torque, necklaces carry a legacy that stretches back through many ancient cultures, worn by warriors and chieftains as marks of status and strength. These pieces draw from the designs shaped during the Celtic and Viking eras, when skilled metalworkers twisted sturdy wire into strong yet wearable forms. Each neck ring is forged from a semi-flexible wire cord, crafted to rest securely around the neck while holding its shape. The ends are shaped like dragon heads,creatures deeply rooted in Norse and Celtic mythology, symbolizing protection and fierce power. Measuring roughly 21 inches in circumference, these torque rings are finished in antique copper, antique brass, or antique silver, each finish recalling the weathered look of metal aged through time and battle.
Fun fact: Viking dragon torque neck rings were not only worn as jewelry but also served as a form of portable wealth, often used as currency or gifted to seal important alliances among chieftains.
