10 torque necklaces to buy online

From the minimalist version of Bottega Veneta to the one with scarf by Missoni

10 torque necklaces to buy online From the minimalist version of Bottega Veneta to the one with scarf by Missoni

The latest fashion seasons looked to the past and re-launched one of the oldest jewelry ever: the torque necklace. This simple turn of a rigid material, usually open at the front, like a horseshoe, appeared really long time ago, decorating the neck of Greeks and Celts in 1000 BC. From a symbol of high social status and bravery, with the passing centuries, it evolved first into a gender-free item worn by hippies in the '60s and '70s and finally into an essential trend giving a sculptural twist to every outfit.

Proenza Schouler opts for a minimalist version and combines it with modern male suits; for Alexander McQueen and Balmain it is maxi and highlights the collarbone line; Ann Demeulemeester decorates it with romantic acanthus leaves and Chanel with pearls; Salvatore Ferragamo likes it transparent, with vinyl details; while Alessandra Rich transforms torque into a snake studded with crystals.

"Torcs" are one of the must-have accessories to wear throughout the year, from autumn to summer. Below, you will find a selection of the coolest torque necklaces to buy online.
