Knights Templar Commandery Chain Collar – Red Velvet Gold Plated Jewels

Description

Knights Templar Commandery Chain Collar – Red Velvet Gold Plated Jewels

Knights Templar Commandery Chain Collar is constructed on a red velvet backing that forms the full foundation for the gold plated chain and jewel assembly. Red velvet carries a dense, directional pile that drapes naturally across the shoulders and chest without pulling or stiffening at the collar curve, and the deep red ground provides a rich color foundation that holds the gold plated jewel chain in strong contrast around the full collar arc.

Gold plated jewels mount at regular intervals around the full collar length. From the image, each jewel unit consists of a rectangular gold plated frame carrying Masonic and Knights Templar symbols at its center, with the frames linked together by ornate gold chain sections running between each jewel position. The rectangular frames sit flush against the red velvet backing with consistent spacing between each unit, giving the collar a regular, deliberate visual rhythm from shoulder point to shoulder point.

The chain sections linking the jewel frames carry an ornate link pattern rather than a plain loop construction. From the image, the links between each rectangular jewel frame are formed from decorative gold units that add visual density to the chain run between each symbol frame. Circular gold connector pieces appear at the upper collar points and at intervals between the rectangular frames, providing proportion variation across the full collar length without disrupting the consistent formal tempo.

A preventer chain connects the two front ends of the collar at the chest. From the image, a fine gold chain runs between the two lower collar ends, preventing the collar from separating at the front during movement. The preventer chain hangs at a natural curve below the collar front, visible as a secondary gold line against the formal dress beneath it. This construction detail keeps the collar in correct position throughout the full Knights Templar ceremony without the wearer needing to make adjustments.

Red velvet backing holds its pile depth across repeated handling and storage between Commandery meetings. Velvet retains its surface finish and color saturation with careful storage, so the collar presents with the same deep red ground whether worn monthly or for special Commandery occasions. Gold plating on the jewel frames and linking chain resists the surface tarnishing that unplated metal develops across repeated ceremony use, maintaining the gold-to-red contrast that defines the visual impact of this collar.

The collar weight distributes evenly across the red velvet backing along the full arc from shoulder to shoulder. That even distribution keeps the collar sitting flat against the chest without pulling toward one side during movement or ceremony. For Knights Templar officers wearing this collar during formal Commandery gatherings, the consistent jewel spacing, the ornate chain links, and the preventer chain together hold the full presentation stable from opening through to closing.

The red velvet pile at the backing edge holds its shape at the outer rim without fraying across repeated removal and storage, keeping the collar border defined at every wearing. The gold plated construction throughout holds its finish across the full ceremony season without requiring polishing between meetings.
