32nd Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Gold Braid

Description

32nd Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Gold Braid

The 32nd Degree — Master of the Royal Secret — sits at the summit of the Scottish Rite system that most members will ever reach. The collar worn at this degree carries that position in every element of its construction. Black moire ribbon four and a quarter inches wide forms the V-shape from shoulder to chest point, and a quarter-inch golden metallic braid runs both edges of the full collar length — a gold line that frames the black moire ground and confirms the degree grade to every Scottish Rite brother in the chapter room before the title is announced.

Heavy embroidery across the collar face places the complete symbol set of the 32nd Degree in gold and silver thread. The double-headed eagle — the emblem that the Master of the Royal Secret degree has carried since the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite established the 32nd as its penultimate grade — sits at the lower V-point with the number 32 below it in the triangle. The Rose Croix cross, the crown, the pelican, the American flag, the olive branch, and the sword are worked across the collar body in the positions the degree places them. Each symbol is part of the 32nd Degree system, and a brother who has worked through the Scottish Rite to this grade reads every one of them without needing explanation.

Gold and silver embroidery at finest quality means two different metallic thread types across the same collar face. Gold bullion thread carries the warm metallic elements — the eagle, the crown, the degree number, the braid border. Silver thread carries the elements the degree places in the cooler metallic tone. The combination of both across the heavy embroidery gives the collar face the visual complexity that the 32nd Degree demands from its regalia — a collar that reads as carrying multiple layers of symbolic content rather than a single repeated motif.

Black moire ribbon at 11 centimetres wide gives the collar the chest presence a senior degree collar requires. The watered surface pattern in the moire shifts under Supreme Council and chapter lighting as the officer moves, giving the black ground a depth that flat ribbon cannot produce. Quarter-inch golden metallic braid at both edges sits applied flat against the moire surface with consistent width along the full collar length from neck point to chest point.

A stitched metal hook at the neck secures the collar to the officer’s clothing and holds the V in its correct hanging position through the complete degree working. A clip at the V-point base attaches the jewel and holds it vertical through procession and ceremony movement, the swivel mechanism keeping the jewel hanging correctly regardless of the officer’s direction of movement.

Every detail of this 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Collar is built for the Master of the Royal Secret who wears the summit of the Scottish Rite with the gravity that degree demands.
