A silver neck ring, or torc, forms an open circular band that tapers to smooth, curved ends at the top gap. A dense row of pointed, teardrop-shaped elements radiates from the outer edge, lining the perimeter from left to right. The reflective metal surface contrasts with dark oxidation nestled in the crevices between each spike. Arcing downward, the band creates a sharp, serrated silhouette reminiscent of a sunburst or stylized thorns.
