A Torc...

[Druidus]

Anyone know where I can find a good, reasonably priced neck torc and/or upper arm torc?

 

[kreeden]

THe internet is about the only place I can think of Druidus . Not sure how " reasonably priced " they would be though .

 

[Druidus]

This is what I'm looking for:

Something like the torc Cernunnos is wearing in this drawing.

Not sure how " reasonably priced " they would be though .

The only ones I've seen so far were $250+ if they were made of any sort of metal, rather than wood. Too much for me!

 

[kreeden]

They usually are made of metal . Brass or silver I believe . A wooden one would be a little harder to find , I would think . It may be easier , and cheaper to have one made ?

 

[Druidus]

You are correct.

A wooden one would be a little harder to find , I would think .

I found a few, but they aren't what I'm looking for. I want a copper or brass torc.

It may be easier , and cheaper to have one made ?

I thought of this, but I am unsure where to find someone able to do such a thing.


Why is there a blue star above my avatar?

 

[kreeden]

It is the Northern Star ? Beats me Druidus . But the best of luck on finding your torc .

:jam: (*please note, this is the closest smiley we have to someone throwing their hand up in the air.)
Me,me!!! I could do it. It'd have to be in a hefty Viking weave rather than the solid twist in the ones Pah has posted, but I reckon it'd be relatively easy. fairly inexpensive in copper or brass, too. My only problem would be finding something to cap the ends with...but I have my resources.
Dru my friend, you've given me an idea for a new addition to the Lady Lazarus line.

Why is there a blue star above my avatar?

I asked Bastet what the blue stars signified a couple of weeks ago. Her very helpful answer was,'dunno.' Maybe it means you've been here over a year?

A local jeweller (A "mom and pop" style, not a mainsteam one) will be able to custom make you a design of your choice.

Really? If you could find out what the price would be to make and ship the torc, I'd be glad to pay you.

I'm in Charrelottetown. Nothing of the sort is likely to exist.



Thank you, Pah, for the wonderful links! Looking at them now!

Give me a couple of weeks to get some wire and have a play around Dru, and I'll send you some pics and see if I've managed to come up with something you like.

Thanks! If possible, I think something slightly larger (thicker) than the ones I've seen in pictures so far would be better looking.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

I love that picture!

A torc is Celtic neckwear Michel . As I'm sure you know by now .

I thought they were a bit thin myself.
What I'm thinking of is a Viking Weave - which is essentially a closely woven chain - (I've been trying to find a decent picture so you can see what I'm talking about,but they're like hens teeth) in a heavy gauge wire to give it substance, with a core wire to give it the shape. The fun part is going to be the monkey fist knots I want to end it with. I've never tried to tie a complicated knot in wire before.
