This classical twisted neck ring, inspired by Gotland’s 11th-century finds, was among the main symbols of high status and power in the Viking Age world.

History & Inspiration: During the Viking Age (793-1066 AD), torques held great significance across Scandinavia and other European tribes. Worn by men and women alike, they signified wealth, status, and personal achievement and were often given as gifts or rewards for acts of bravery. This piece draws its inspiration specifically from excavated Gotland torques.

Design & Craftsmanship: Featuring an inner diameter of 16cm, this strong and wearable piece weighs an impressive 190g and is carefully handcrafted from durable pewter. The horned ends and twisted design follow the traditions of Viking artistry, including the use of animal head terminals and intricate braided motifs for spiritual and protective symbolism.
