Typical for the Viking torques are twisted bronze wires, which ensure a good flexibility of the neck ring, so that it can be bent open and closed without any problems and can therefore be put on easily.
The torques is widely known as the quintessential neck ring of Celtic warriors, but what is less well known is that almost all Central European peoples of antiquity knew the neck ring.
Until the Migration Period, torques were worn not only by men but also by women among the Germanic peoples. In the course of late antiquity, the choker became purely male jewellery and remained widespread in northern Europe until the Viking Age.
Viking neck rings were usually made of narrow silver or bronze wires in twisted or braided form and could be fitted with a hook fastener or shaped end heads.
