Mene has some stunning 24 karat gold and platinum Torc jewelry.

What is Torc?

“Torcs are found in the Scythian, Illyrian[1] Thracian, Celtic, and other cultures of the European Iron Age from around the 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD. For the Iron Age Celts the gold torc seems to have been a key object, identifying the wearer as a person of high rank, and many of the finest works of ancient Celtic art are torcs”

Torcs are also found in the Scythian, Illyrian, Thracian, Celtic, culture fron the IRON AGE.

WHOA!

I have have no idea what the Thracian culture is like but it sounds like some bad ass kingdom on Game of Thrones.

Also note that the Iron Age Celts knew you were high ranking if you wore something like this:

Here are a few old school gold Torcs:

What jumps out for me is that these pieces of gold are literally THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD. This just reiterates that gold last forever and maintains it’s beauty and value throughout the ages.

Gold truly is a very special element. A deep dive into the physics of gold explains why:

This is how Mene explains Torc:

It is almost overwhelming to imagine that it is possible that the same gold in those ancient designs could be in a beautiful Mene design today:

I happen to think that the Mene Platinum Torc is pretty masculine for the guys who want to get Torced:
