Fire Mountain Gems has twisted wire neck rings which look a lot like a
torc. They're designed to take beads, but no reason not to wear them
as-is, as long as your neck isn't too big for them. Silver plate or
gold plate.

Along similar lines, I was in the local Orchard Supply Hardware recently
and noticed a lot of fibulae--I think circle pins. I forget what they
thought they were--next time I'm there I'll check.

They are called "Lynch pins" but, on a closer examination, are not
quite circle pins. The circle isn't actually a closed ring--the part
coming into the straight part on one side is offset from the part on
the other side.
