Wikipedia: A torc, also spelled torq or torque, is a rigid piece of personal adornment made from twisted metal. It can be worn as an arm ring, a circular neck ring, or a necklace that is normally open-ended at the front, although many seem designed for near-permanent wear, and would have been difficult to remove. Smaller torcs worn around the wrist are called bracelets instead.
