Replicas of Viking Neck Rings and Celtic Torques according to historical models.

In our medieval shop we offer you a nice selection of neck rings and torques after historical models from the time of the Celts, Teutons and Vikings. These historical neck rings are handcrafted from high-quality bronze and are also available in genuine silver-plated. Torques were already an important part of the historical dress in antiquity and early Middle Ages, for example with the Celts, but neck rings were also worn by the Germanic tribes of the migration period as well as later by the Slavs and Vikings. Thus, these authentic replicas of historical torques are still ideally suited for the authentic representation in medieval and Viking re-enactments.

The torque – a symbol of power and status in ancient times

The torque, a neck ring made of either rigid or flexible twisted wires, is one of the most impressive pieces of jewellery from early European history.
Originally worn by the Celts as a sign of high social status, bravery and religious significance, this necklace also became popular among the Germanic tribes and during the Viking Age. In our collection, we offer torques that have been reconstructed based on significant grave finds and hoards.
These neck rings are more than just jewellery; they are a powerful statement for anyone who feels connected to the history of the ancient tribes. At Pera Peris, we make sure that the weight and feel of our replicas do justice to their historical models.

Craftsmanship precision and choice of materials

Our torques are mainly made of high-quality bronze, a material that has been valued for thousands of years for its durability and gold-like lustre. We offer both solid models with ornate animal-shaped end pieces and twisted versions that offer a certain degree of flexibility. 
The design of the end pieces is closely based on finds from the La Tène period or the Viking era, often featuring motifs such as boar heads, dragons or abstract knot patterns. A torque from Pera Peris is crafted to fit comfortably around the neck while retaining the archaic power of the original. 

A timeless piece of jewellery for connoisseurs

Although torques are firmly rooted in the history of the Celts and Norsemen, they are not only popular within a die-hard re-enactment scene. These historical neck rings can also be combined perfectly with any historical costume and also make a striking statement piece when worn with modern clothing.
When you choose a torque from our range, you are choosing a piece of jewellery that captivates with its simplicity and historical significance. We attach great importance to ensuring that our neck rings are not fanciful reinventions, but genuine bridges to the past. Discover the variety of our torques and wear a symbol of dignity that the tribal chiefs of bygone eras wore with pride.Show less
