The usekh, wesekh, gorgerine, or broad collar is a personal ornament, a type of broad collar or necklace, familiar to many because of deities and humans were often depicted wearing this jewellery in Egyptian imagery.

The collar was draped around and supported by the neck and shoulders, and was typically adorned with closely placed rows of colored beads, precious stones, or just made of gold.
