Torcs, also called Torq or Torque, were worn in ancient Briton and Europe, some 2000 years ago, particularly by the Gauls and Vikings. They were generally a single piece or strands of metal, twisted together, to form a large, rigid ring. This piece is classic torc design with strong, robust Viking knit chain.
This stylish wrist torc is made with a copper core wire, with spiralling at the ends. The body of the torc is covered with a thick, double Viking knit chain, which is finished with 2 handmade wire cones.
The Torc is 20cm long, with a 25mm gap and an inner circumference is approx. 165mm. The chain is 6mm wide.
