The Torque Necklace ~ Taylor Crouse

The torque necklace is making a huge statement on the runway this spring. The torque necklace was a big piece of celtic jewelry. It was a powerful symbol, perhaps representing the wearer's free-born status, and was often complemented with additional rings worn about the arms and wrists. Torques were made from copper, bronze, silver, and gold. They were worn by both men and women, and are depicted as such in both Classical and Celtic sculptures.Below you will see the torque necklace with a twist, making an appearance in the spring 2014 Chanel runway show.
