Deep-Dive FAQ

Does the gold plating wear off on the shirt?

No, our high-grade gold plating is triple-sealed and the blue velvet backing acts as a protective barrier between the metal and your clothing.

What is the purpose of the preventer chain?

The preventer chain connects the two sides of the collar at the back, ensuring the weight remains balanced and the jewels stay centered.

Are the rhinestones securely set?

To ensure ceremonial integrity and longevity, each stone is securely set into the metal frames to prevent them from falling out during movement.

Is this collar heavy for long-duration lodge meetings?

It is designed to feel substantial yet balanced, as the velvet backing helps distribute the weight evenly across the shoulders to prevent neck strain.

How should I clean the gold links?

Use a soft and dry microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints, but avoid chemical cleaners which can damage the rhinestone settings.

Will this fit over a standard dress shirt collar?

Yes, the curvature is designed to sit naturally over a tuxedo or suit collar without bunching the fabric.

Does it include the Past Master Jewel?

This specific item is the Chain Collar, though jewels are typically attached to the bottom hook and can be purchased separately.

How is the lace trim attached?

The stone-set lace is securely stitched to the velvet backing to ensure it does not fray or detach over time.

Is the blue backing the standard Masonic Blue?

Yes, the shade is a deep Royal Blue, which is consistent with universal Blue Lodge standards.

Can the links be removed to adjust the length?

While the links are solid for structural integrity, the preventer chain allows for minor adjustments in how the collar sits.

How should I store this to prevent damage?

We recommend storing it flat in a dedicated collar case or velvet-lined box to keep the links aligned and the stones protected.

Is this suitable for Grand Lodge functions?

The quality and gold-on-blue aesthetic meet the high standards required for most formal Grand Lodge officer functions.
