Questions about the product Viking neck ring made of brass, hammered torques

How is the hand-hammered brass Viking torque attached to the neck, and what symbolic meaning did such a torque have for the status of its wearer in the Viking Age?

The hand-hammered brass Viking torc is put on by grasping the two ends with your fingers and gently pulling them apart from the side. The torc is then placed around the neck and adjusted to the individual neck shape by carefully squeezing it together. In the Viking Age, such a torc was a significant status symbol, signifying high social rank, wealth, and power. It was worn primarily by the social elite, such as chieftains and warriors, and was also considered a sign of divine favor and a protective symbol for its wearer.
What material was used for this handmade Viking necklace and what care instructions should be followed to prevent material fatigue or breakage of the piece of jewelry?

The Viking-style neck ring is crafted from hammered brass. To prevent material fatigue or breakage, the piece should be protected from moisture, perspiration, and chemical substances such as perfume, and removed before sleeping, showering, or exercising. Since brass oxidizes over time, its shine can be maintained by regular polishing with a soft cloth or special brass cleaners, as well as household remedies such as toothpaste or a mild soap solution.
Is this handmade Viking necklace suitable as a unisex piece of jewelry for both women and men, and what spiritual meaning was attributed to the torque in historical traditions regarding the connection between soul and body?

This handcrafted Viking torque, made of brass, is designed as a unisex piece of jewelry and is suitable for both women and men. In historical traditions and spiritual contexts, the torque is often seen as a symbol of power, status, and divine favor. It functions as a kind of "temple for the soul," with the closed ring intended to strengthen the connection between mind, soul, and body, thus providing the wearer with protection and inner peace.
What historical models served as inspiration for the design of this hammered brass torque, and how does the hammered surface differ in appearance from twisted or braided neck rings of the Viking Age?

The design of this torque is inspired by historical finds from the Viking Age and Celtic models that served as symbols of status and power. Unlike twisted or braided neck rings, which are characterized by spiral or interwoven structures, the hammered surface features irregular facets that create a rustic, handcrafted look and a subtle interplay of light reflections.
