{"title":"Brass Torque Necklaces","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA torque necklace is a rigid, open-ended collar worn at the collarbone, a structural form with one of the longest documented presences in material culture. Also spelled torc, the name derives from the Latin torquere, meaning to twist, and the form itself has been found as an archaeological artifact across Iron Age Celtic societies, Ancient Roman culture, Viking settlements, and beyond. This is not a design trend. It is a formed object with a verifiable history, and that is precisely what makes it a compelling piece to wear. Noir KĀLA's brass torque necklaces translate this structural and anthropological lineage into pieces built for the body as it is today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach brass torque necklace in this collection is made from a brass alloy. The brass core provides the rigidity and precision the torque form requires. Brass carries a warm, golden tone that sits close to gold in character, earthier in quality and distinctive against the skin. Every piece in this collection is nickel-free and lead-free, placing these pieces as a considered alternative to most standard gold collar necklaces that may use unspecified base metals beneath the gold. The collection includes open-cuff neck cuff necklace styles and fuller collar constructions, varying in weight and silhouette from statement collar necklaces to more refined torc necklace forms that sit closely at the neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWearing a torque is straightforward once you understand the mechanism. The open end provides the wearing mechanism without a clasp. Position the opening at the front, rotate the piece so the gap sits at the back of the neck or to the side, and the necklace holds at the collarbone by its own structure. The fit can be gently adjusted at the opening on most designs. Worn alone, a brass collar necklace of this form reads as a complete statement. Paired with a longer pendant necklace below it, the torque anchors the layered arrangement while retaining its own visual weight. Noir KĀLA's torque and collar necklaces are handcrafted in small batches through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India, and every piece is backed by a 1-year extended warranty. For care, avoid prolonged contact with moisture, lotions, and perfumes, and store pieces separately to protect the gold surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"xeyna-torque-necklace-brass","title":"Xeyna Torque | Torque Necklace - Brass","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrafted with hypnotic allure, potent power, and a quest for truth and transformation, the Xeyna Torque necklace is an elegantly fierce accessory meticulously handcrafted.
