30th Degree Scottish Rite Collarette – Black Moire with Silver Edges

Description

30th Degree Scottish Rite Collarette – Black Moire with Silver Edges

The swivel hook at the bottom of this collarette is the detail that separates a working piece of regalia from a display item. A fixed ring at the base of a collarette means the jewel hangs at one angle and stays there regardless of how the officer moves. A swivel hook allows the jewel to rotate freely and always hang vertical — the correct position during procession, during degree work, and during the seated portions of the Knight Kadosh ceremony. Hardware choice at this point on a collarette reflects whether the maker understood how the piece would actually be worn.

Black moire ribbon eleven centimetres wide forms the V-shape of this collarette from neck point to chest point. Moire ribbon at this width and in black carries the watered surface pattern that reads differently from plain black ribbon under Scottish Rite chapter lighting. The pattern shifts as the officer moves and as the light source angle changes across the ceremony, giving the black collarette a visual depth that flat ribbon construction cannot produce. Silver edges run both sides of the full V-length — a fine line of silver against the black moire ground that confirms the degree colouring without adding width or weight to the collarette body.

The 30th Degree is Knight Kadosh, Knight of the White and Black Eagle within the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Black collarette with silver edge is the colouring the degree places at this rank. Scottish Rite brothers who have passed through the 30th Degree read that combination before they read the jewel or the title. Eleven centimetre width gives the collarette the presence on the chest that a senior degree demands without the bulk of a full collar construction.

Black back construction means the reverse of the collarette reads cleanly against the officer’s clothing. Where the moire ribbon faces outward and catches light, the black back sits against the shirt or robe without showing through at the edges or creating a visible hem line at the silver edge join. The neck fitting sits flat across the collar line and holds the V in its correct hanging position without requiring adjustment during the ceremony.

Silver edges applied at consistent width along both sides of the full collarette length require a stitch line that holds the silver trim flat against the moire surface without puckering at the curves of the V-point or lifting at the straight sections. The edge width stays consistent from the neck point to the chest point on both sides, which means the collarette reads as symmetrical from the front — the reading every Scottish Rite ceremony demands from its officers.

Every detail of this 30th Degree Scottish Rite Collarette is built for the Knight Kadosh who wears the degree with the gravity the Knight of the White and Black Eagle carries.
