A gold torc would have identified its wearer as an individual of rank in the Iron Age. A rigid neck ring, open at the front, made as solid or from multiple strands twisted together, they constitute some of the finest examples of Celtic art.
Ornamentation on the cufflinks is an abstraction of the bud and crescent motif on a gold torc terminal from 150 BCE – 50 BCE Britain.
About the collection
A project with the British Museum, this collaboration draws on the public institution's vast collection of over 8 million artefacts, documenting the story of human culture from its earliest days to the present. Each piece is marked with the British Museum logotype.
132 years of Craftsmanship
Since 1885, our designers and craftsmen have expressed their love and understanding of the material by continuously pushing the envelope in pewter design while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship. Each Royal Selangor item is hand cast by pouring molten pewter into steel moulds quickly and efficiently.
After cooling, each individual pewter piece is polished and soldered onto other appendages such as spouts and handles, all done by hand. This attention to detail and precision has made Royal Selangor's pewter pieces durable and timeless.
