RHODIUM PLATED SILVER CRYSTAL AND CUBIC ZIRCONIA HINGED TORC BANGLE

Let’s talk wrists. Specifically, wrists that deserve something strong, sculptural, and faintly mythological.

This is the Torc Bangle — a sleek, polished Sterling Silver beauty with sparkling Quartz crystal end caps, accented with decorative Cubic Zirconia for that perfectly judged hit of light-catching drama. It’s clean, confident, and unapologetically elegant — the kind of piece that makes even the simplest outfit feel intentional.

The hinged design means it’s blissfully easy to put on (no contortions, no wrestling, no calling for assistance). Once it’s on, it sits beautifully — ready to be worn solo as a statement or layered into a fully fledged arm party with bangles of different metals, textures, and attitudes.

💫 A Brief (But Excellent) History Lesson

A torc (also spelt torq or torque) is a rigid metal ring traditionally associated with status, power, and authority. For the Iron Age Celts, Gold torcs were serious business — worn by people of high rank and immortalised in some of the finest ancient Celtic art.

These weren’t dainty adornments. They were declarations.

This modern version keeps the strength and symbolism but adds sparkle, polish, and the very welcome ability to take it off without a blacksmith.

✨ The Stones (Because Details Matter)

The end caps feature Quartz crystal, one of the most widespread and versatile minerals on Earth — found on all seven continents and admired since ancient times. Quartz is prized for its clarity and light-play, and here it provides a clean, luminous base for the design.

The added Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones bring Diamond-like brilliance without the Diamond-level panic. CZ has been the most popular Diamond alternative since the 1970s, thanks to its durability, sparkle, and very reasonable attitude to everyday life.

🤍 That Glorious White Shine

The bangle is finished with Rhodium plating — a precious white metal from the Platinum family that costs:

  • 8× more than pure Gold

  • 23× more than 9ct Gold

  • 4× more than Platinum

Rhodium is hard, scratch-resistant, and keeps Silver looking bright and tarnish-free. To preserve the finish:

  • Avoid swimming (chlorine is the enemy of sparkle)

  • Minimise prolonged water exposure

  • Re-plating is simple if ever needed

Low maintenance. High impact.
