18th Degree Scottish Rite Regalia Set – Red White Gold Rose Croix

Description

18th Degree Scottish Rite Regalia Set – Red White Gold Rose Croix

Rose Croix ceremony carries the kind of weight that a Mason feels differently after he has sat through it a second and third time. The 18th Degree is the degree that changes how a Brother reads everything before it, and the regalia that marks that degree should carry the same permanence. A collar, a set of epaulettes, and the symbolic detail worked into all three pieces by hand is not a set purchased for one season of Scottish Rite work. It is the set that goes back into a proper case after every reunion and comes out again when the degree demands it.

The collar is white satin, the ground color the Rose Croix assigns to this degree for the reason the ritual explains and the candidate understands when he receives it. Against that white, the central emblem at the collar point carries the pelican in piety above the cross, worked in full multicolor hand detail that includes green olive branches arching to both sides, red and gold on the cross, and the complete symbolic composition the 18th Degree places at the center of its ceremony. Red satin borders frame the collar face, carrying gold and red floral spray work along their length, extending the degree’s color language from the central emblem outward to the full collar edge.

Red satin covers the full epaulette body, both pieces matching in ground color and construction. The epaulette face carries the double-headed eagle in full color worked detail, the wings spread and the full Scottish Rite emblem rendered with the thread depth that hand work produces. Gold fringe runs the lower edge of each epaulette, the fringe weight proportionate to the epaulette body so the piece sits correctly on the shoulder without pulling forward or riding back through extended reunion wear. The red and gold combination across the epaulettes reads the same degree language as the collar, so all three pieces present as a unified set rather than separately sourced components assembled for the occasion.

Hand embroidery throughout the set produces the surface depth that Scottish Rite regalia at this degree requires. The pelican, the cross, the eagle, the floral sprays, and the olive branches are all worked by hand, which means the needle has passed through each element individually. That process is visible in the finished piece. The raised surface of the central emblem on the collar and the feather definition on the eagle across the epaulettes are the details that a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite officer examining the set will read immediately as hand produced rather than machine pressed.

Receiving the Rose Croix degree is a specific moment in a Mason’s Scottish Rite journey. The regalia that marks it should reflect that specificity. A set like this is the piece a Scottish Rite officer wears at every Rose Croix chapter meeting for a full term of office and the set that, worn correctly and stored properly, remains available for the occasions that matter most across the full arc of Scottish Rite service.

White satin collar with red border and hand worked Rose Croix central emblem, red satin epaulettes with hand worked double-headed eagle and gold fringe, full three-piece set, 18th Degree Scottish Rite specification. Built for the degree it marks and the service that follows.

White satin collar with hand worked Rose Croix emblem — degree symbol carried at the collar point

The pelican in piety above the cross, olive branches, and full multicolor detail are worked by hand at the collar point where Scottish Rite ceremony places the 18th Degree symbol. Red satin border with floral spray detail extends the degree color language to the full collar edge, unifying the central emblem with the outer finish.

Red satin epaulettes with hand worked double-headed eagle and gold fringe — rank visible on the shoulder through full reunion wear

Both epaulettes carry the double-headed eagle in hand worked multicolor detail on red satin. Gold fringe at the lower edge is weighted to sit correctly on the shoulder through extended Scottish Rite ceremony work without the epaulette shifting position during the degree conferral.

Three-piece matched set — collar and epaulettes in unified degree color and construction

All three pieces are produced in the same degree color palette and hand embroidery specification, ensuring the collar and both epaulettes read as a unified 18th Degree set rather than separately sourced pieces assembled for the occasion.

Q: Does this set include both epaulettes and the collar?

A: Yes. The set includes the white satin Rose Croix collar and both red satin epaulettes, providing the complete three-piece 18th Degree regalia set for Scottish Rite chapter officer wear.

Q: Is the embroidery on this set worked by hand or by machine?

A: All embroidery on the collar and epaulettes is hand worked. The pelican emblem, cross, olive branches, and double-headed eagle are all produced by hand, giving the set the raised surface detail and thread depth that hand embroidery produces.

Q: Is this set made to 18th Degree Scottish Rite specification?

A: Yes. The white satin collar with Rose Croix central emblem and red satin epaulettes follow the 18th Degree Scottish Rite regalia specification for Rose Croix chapter officer wear.

Q: How should the set be stored between Scottish Rite reunions?

A: Store the collar flat and the epaulettes with the fringe uncompressed in a regalia case between reunions. Avoid folding the collar at the emblem point to preserve the hand worked detail at the center.
