{"title":"Silver Torque Necklaces in 925 Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA silver torque necklace is a rigid, open-front collar — a formed structural object that holds its shape on and off the body, distinct from chains, pendant necklaces, and flexible silver choker necklaces in every material and functional sense. The opening at the front or back is the wearing mechanism. There is no clasp, no drape, no flexibility. The piece sits at the base of the neck as a self-supporting form, and that structural quality is what defines the category. The torque, also spelled torc, appears in the archaeological record across Celtic Iron Age contexts, ancient Roman culture, and Viking-era finds, consistently as an object of personal adornment and social significance. It is one of the most durable and geographically widespread forms in the history of jewelry making, which is precisely why it remains a compelling design anchor rather than a passing reference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNoir KĀLA's silver torque necklaces are made from 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper. 925 sterling silver is a widely recognised material standard for artisan and fine jewelry, and it is hypoallergenic, making it a sound choice for those with sensitive skin. The alloy provides the rigidity the torque form requires. A sterling silver collar necklace built to this composition typically holds its geometry through wear without deforming, and the surface develops a natural patina over time that can be maintained with a soft polishing cloth. Each piece in this collection is handcrafted in small batches through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India. The precision required to form and finish a rigid silver necklace is a different order of craft from chain construction, and that specificity is visible in how these pieces sit and hold on the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe torque form is design-led rather than decorative. Its authority comes from structure, proportion, and the particular way a rigid collar changes how the neck and collarbone read. Within this collection, the sterling silver torque necklaces are proportioned to function as both standalone pieces and pendant bases. When a Noir KĀLA pendant is placed on a silver torc necklace, the relationship between the pendant and the body shifts: the rigid collar holds the drop point at a fixed position rather than allowing it to float along a chain, resulting in a more deliberate, architectural composition. For those building a layered arrangement, a silver collar necklace at the collar provides an anchor that a chain cannot replicate. Every piece in this collection is backed by Noir KĀLA's 1-year extended warranty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"xeyna-torque-necklace","title":"Xeyna Torque | Torque Necklace – 925 Silver","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.
