Forged Torque in Sterling Silver

$60
A classic, elegant piece from time immemorial. This neckring will sit perfectly on your collar bones and swoop down around the hollow of your throat, highlighting and elongating the lines of your neck. This style will never go out of fashion and looks beautiful in any situation. While the shape looks sophisticated by itself, it can also showcase a beautiful pendant with a large bail.

I forged this piece by hand out of sturdy 2mm silver wire. Since it was shaped and planished with hammers, it sits well on your neck and will hold its shape. The ends are smooth and rounded, to avoid any scratching at all. While the neckring pictured has been filed and polished to a liquid shine, it also looks great with a hammered finish.

This piece should fit everyone.

Note: this listing is for the neckring ONLY. The pendant is NOT included.
