This beautiful and elegant two-tone necklace is inspired by by the Viking twist torques in the British Museum. The five short twists are crafted by hand curling the silver. The inside of one groove is gold plated creating a stunning contrast between the two precious metals. This is a truly glorious piece perfect for any lover of unusual handmade jewellery.
Fi Mehra has worked out a way to make the twist as close as possible to how the Viking’s originally created them. The necklace started as Fi hand making the twist master, then having that master cast in silver, hall marked, then gold plated in the curved grooves.
The five twists are connected with silver jump rings and attached to a silver link chain with a lobster catch. The catch can be attached at any point meaning it can be worn at different lengths.
