The noun neck occurs nine times in The Quran:

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَّحْسُورًا
And (do) not make your hand chained to your neck, and not extend it (to its) utmost reach, so that you sit blameworthy, insolvent.
[Al-Quran 17:29]
Shackles in the neck is a term. Q17:29 tells us to not to be so miserly as to not spend anything, and the example being presented is chaining the hand to the neck.
Earlier in the surah, Q17:13, we are informed that Our Record in Our Neck
In Surah Yasin, we read about those against whom the word is proven, and can no longer believe:
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ أَغْلَالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ
وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ
وَسَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
Certainly, (has) proved true the word upon most of them so they (do) not believe.
Indeed, We [We] have placed on their necks iron collars, and they (are up) to the chins, so they (are with) heads raised up.
And We have made before them a barrier and behind them a barrier. and We covered them, so they (do) not see.
And it (is) same to them whether you warn them or (do) not warn them, not they will believe.
Only you (can) warn (him) who follows the Reminder and fears the Most Gracious in the unseen. So give him glad tidings of forgiveness and a reward noble.
Indeed, We [We] [We]give life (to) the dead and We record what they have sent before and their footprints, and every thing We have enumerated it in a Register clear.
