The Torc is an ancient design & appears throughout history as necklaces as well as bracelets. Boudicca rode into battle wearing nothing but a great gold torc around her neck. The name comes from the Latin for 'to twist' as that is how they were originally put on. Nowadays a wider gap allows this rigid bangle to slide on & stay in place. The rounded ends make it easier to take the bracelet on & off & the diamond detail makes them into a feature.
