Torques

Celtic torque jewelry, Snettisham torque

The torque is a Celtic neck ring made of iron, gold, silver, or bronze. Men, women, and children of high status wore the torque as a status symbol. It also functioned as a lump of gold: it was forged as an investment and stored. The torque was associated with gods, as Cernunnos wears a torque on the Gundestrup cauldron, and with noble and esteemed mythical Celtic figures. An example of an original Celtic torque is the Snettisham torque. Our replica shows what a luxurious object this torque was. Discover our range of torques.
