Masonic 30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Templar Cross

Description

Masonic 30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Templar Cross

Masonic 30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar is built for the Knight of Kadosh, the degree within the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite known alternately as the Knight of the White and Black Eagle, and every construction detail of this piece serves the specific ceremonial requirements that the 30th degree places on its officers. Black moire ribbon forms the collar body, 11 centimeters wide and cut to run from the left shoulder to the right hip in the diagonal wear position that Scottish Rite collar protocol establishes. Moire fabric at this width carries enough surface area to present the degree motifs clearly while maintaining the drape and line that diagonal collar wear requires through a full Scottish Rite gathering.

Moire ribbon produces its distinctive rippled surface through a calendering process that compresses the fabric between engraved rollers under heat and pressure, creating the light-and-shadow pattern that gives moire its formal ceremonial appearance. At 11 centimeters wide, this collar sits with enough body to hold its shape across the chest without rolling or twisting during movement, which matters for a collar worn diagonally through standing ceremony, procession, and degree conferral. The black body absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the white C∴K∴H∴ lettering and red Templar cross maximum contrast against the collar surface.

The Templar cross at the center reads in red against the black moire field, a color combination that the Knight of Kadosh degree has used to identify its members within Scottish Rite ceremony. White lettering marks the degree designation with the Masonic punctuation that the 30th degree uses, placed at the upper portion of the collar where it reads clearly when the piece is worn in its correct diagonal position. A white circular medallion sits at the lower end, completing the degree symbolism across the full length of the collar body.

Black fabric lines the complete reverse of this collar, giving a clean interior finish against dress clothing and adding a second layer of body that helps the moire ribbon maintain its structure and drape through long ceremonial wear. That black backing also prevents the white dress shirt beneath from showing through the collar fabric, which would undercut the visual authority of the piece during degree work.

A swivel hook is fitted at the bottom end of the collar, engineered for attaching a degree jewel when the wearer’s position or occasion calls for jewel display. The swivel mechanism allows the jewel to hang correctly regardless of minor variations in collar position during wear, keeping the jewel centered and composed rather than turned or offset. The hook is included as standard, making this collar functional for both plain wear and full jewel presentation without modification.

At 11 centimeters wide, the ribbon body sits correctly proportioned for the left-shoulder-to-right-hip wear line, neither too narrow to present the degree motifs clearly nor too wide to drape with the clean diagonal fall that 30th degree collar wear demands.

The swivel hook at the bottom end holds an attached jewel in correct hanging position through movement and standing ceremony without rotation or offset.
