The Great Torc from Snettisham, England dated from 100 BCE on display at the British Museum in London, England

This torc is one of the most elaborate golden objects from the ancient world. It is made gold mixed with silver and weighs over 1 kg.

Torcs are made from complex threads of metal, grouped into ropes and twisted around each other. The ends of the torc were cast in moulds and welded onto metal ropes.
