Turtle tortoise silver torque bangle bracelet

A silver Bangle or Torque with turtles at each side of the opening. The Bangle is not marked. The Bangle measures about 7 inches when stretched as shown in the picture on wrist. Can be made larger or smaller. It was the ultimate power jewel of the ancient world, from Cleopatra to Viking warrior women to Boudica. The word “torque” is Latin for “twist”. A torque can be in the form of a necklace, bracelet, upper armband, ring, or even a belt with an “open” design. This global jewelry sensation was worn by both women and men of high status, rank, or chieftains, made of twisted metal strands, fitting tight around the neck, arm, or waist - often with decorative terminals. You may already have this epic power jewel in your jewelry wardrobe - and if you don’t, you’ll see why it’s perfect for the boardroom to brunch! From open necklaces to twist rings, these enduring symbols of feminine power will amplify your visibility - be it commanding the stage at a keynote or sipping cocktails at summer soirées.
