Beautiful Things: DK01 MM TORC, inspired jewelry by Dina Kamal

THE DK01 MM TORC by

The DK01 Torc Series is a consequence of a study of ancient neck rings throughout history: The Torc as a sensual object and an object of empowerment, once it is placed on the neck in its specific location, it automatically shifts the posture, hence the state of mind. A Torc is a single piece rigid neck ring open at the front. It was mainly worn by men as a medal or trophy to demonstrate rank, strength, and power. It has its roots in Mesopotania, Scythians, Ancients Greece and Rome; and finally with the Celts who are most identified with it throughout the Iron Age. The Torc rests at lower edge of the neck artery/vein where it meets the curve where the shoulder begins. This position and the fact that the Torc is a solid single piece, gives it a strong and sensual feel. It evokes an emotional reaction.

Details: The MM TORC has a special handcrafted mechanism that allows each diamond cylinder the flexibility to move into location on the body. It is 18K beige gold (raw white) with 108 VVS/F diamonds (16.3carats). A unique piece designed and crafted with the DK01 process: The journey from inspiration to finished piece is rigorous, intense and sacred. A process that strips away the unnecessary so as to allow for a new form based on an intrinsic and structured reality.
