Celtic Torc Necklaces: An Ancient Symbol of Power and Beauty
Celtic jewellery has a rich history and is known for its intricate designs and deep Celtic symbolism. Among the most popular Celtic jewellery pieces is the Celtic Torc Necklace. This timeless piece of jewellery is an ancient symbol of power, strength, and nobility that has stood the test of time.
The Celtic torc necklace, typically known as a neck ring was an important piece of Celtic jewellery worn from before 1200 BC to as late as 600 AD by the ancient celts. The word "torc" is derived from the Latin word "torquis," which means "to twist." This refers to the twisted metal design of the necklace, which is often made from gold or silver. The torc necklace has been found in archaeological digs throughout Ireland and was worn by both men and women.
In ancient times, these luxurious torc necklaces were not only worn for decorative purposes but also served as a symbol of power and status worn at the most special and sacred events. Celtic warriors would wear torcs as a sign of their strength and nobility, while chieftains and kings would wear more elaborate designs to showcase their wealth and power. Today, Celtic Torc Necklaces continue to be a popular piece of jewellery, appreciated for their beauty and significance. They are often given as gifts to loved ones or worn to signify strength and determination.
