Product description
The torque is based on an original worn by the Vikings around the 8th and 9th century. The original was excavated in Gotland. Originally the torque was a Celtic/Gaulish neck jewellery piece that served as a symbol of status for the wearer. It remains unknown how and when the Vikings adopted this tradition; one possibility is that it was transferred from the ancient Germanic tribes. In many cases, there was no great difference between Germanic and Gaulish culture.
