Product description
This massive Celtic torque draws from historical originals. Crafted with traditional techniques, its 9 mm thick body radiates strength and elegance. Suitable for both men and women with a strong neck, it is perfect for Celtic reenactment. It weighs about 161 grams, with an inner diameter of 14 cm and an inner circumference of 38 cm (measured without the opening).
The heads of the torque feature double-spiral motifs inspired by La Tène art. Each head measures 2.5 cm long, 1.4 cm high, and 1.8 cm deep, adding to the striking overall design.
In Celtic culture, the torque held great symbolic and ritual importance. Warriors and leaders wore it as a mark of prestige, courage, and divine favor, and it was closely associated with oaths. In Celtic mythology, gods and goddesses are sometimes depicted with torques — the god Cernunnos, for example, wears a torque around his neck in various images, while others hang from his antlers or rest in his hand, as seen on the Gundestrup Cauldron. Torques were not just accessories; they carried profound significance as symbols of status and strength. The larger and heavier the torque, the greater the wearer's standing in society. This impressive piece is a testament to respect, trust, and love — making it a meaningful gift.
