Viking Wolf Head Torc, Twisted Brass Neck Ring

Born in Sweden, Found in Russia

This torc has an incredible story behind it. Its historical counterpart was crafted in the 10th or 11th century on the island of Gotland, Sweden. From there, it traveled to Russia, where it became part of the treasure of Prince Vladimir of Moscow. In 1238, as the Mongol Golden Horde stood at the gates of Moscow, the prince, fearing plunder, had his most valuable treasures buried. The hiding place was so perfect that the torc lay in the earth for more than 750 years before it was rediscovered by chance during construction work in 1988.

A Symbol of Power and Protection

In ancient times, a torc was not an everyday piece of jewelry. It was an insignia of power, high social standing, and also held religious significance. They were worn by gods and goddesses as we know them from mythology, but also by earthly rulers, elite warriors, princesses, and shamans. It was believed to offer protection to its wearer. The wolf heads can refer to strength, ferocity, and loyalty, or to mythological wolves such as Fenrir, the son of Loki.

How to Wear and Adjust the Torc

The neck ring is made from solid yet pliable brass, allowing you to carefully adjust it to fit your neck perfectly. To put it on, gently and slowly pull the terminals apart sideways (not outwards), slip it onto your neck, and then gently press the terminals back towards each other until it sits comfortably. This flexibility makes it suitable for most neck sizes. However, avoid repeated and excessive bending in the same spot to prevent material fatigue.

How to Care for Your Brass Jewelry

Brass is a beautiful metal that develops a natural patina over time, which adds to its historical appearance. If you wish to maintain its original bright shine, you can polish it regularly with a soft cloth and a standard brass cleaner. Protect the jewelry from contact with harsh chemicals. Please note that for some people, brass may temporarily leave a harmless green mark on the skin. This is a natural reaction of the metal with the skin and can be easily washed off.
