The diameter is approx. 14 - 18 cm. Total length 50 cm. This makes this Viking neck ring suitable for both women and men.
The Viking neck ring has a wire thickness of 5 mm and is very light and comfortable to wear, so that you hardly notice the Torque after a short time.

Like the historical models of the Viking Age, this neck ring is made of several bronze wires twisted together, ensuring excellent flexibility so that the Torque can be bent open and closed without any problems, making it easy to put on.
The Torque is widely known as the quintessential jewellery of Celtic warriors, but what is less well known is that almost all Central European peoples of antiquity knew the neck ring as jewellery. 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 thin silver or bronze wires in twisted or braided form and could be fitted with a hook fastener or shaped end heads.
