The Hammered Sterling Silver Torq Bangle Set With Vibrant Purple Opals by Lavan. This hammered sterling silver torq bangle is paired with extraordinarily vivid purple opals. Lavan uses all-natural materials in its singular and highly abstract creations. Torqs are among the oldest pieces of jewellery around. They’re found in cultures as diverse as the Ancient Greeks and the Vikings. This is a beautiful update of a millennia old design and is a gorgeous statement piece designed to be worn out. About The Designer: Lavan’s lead designer, David Weinberger was raised on a kibbutz in Israel. He studied fine art in Tel Aviv before travelling to London to take up a place at the prestigious Goldsmiths School of Jewellery. His luminescent, contemporary pieces are masterfully constructed with a painter’s eye for light and texture. To find out more about the designer please visit Lavan.
