Order of the Amaranth Collar – Maroon Velvet Yellow Braid Gold Fringe

Description

Order of the Amaranth Collar – Maroon Velvet Yellow Braid Gold Fringe

Order of the Amaranth Collar construction uses a deep maroon velvet body shaped in the distinctive teardrop shield format, the velvet pile running consistently across the full collar face so the burgundy surface reads as a single unified color field from the neckline opening to the outer fringe edge. Velvet pile at this collar weight holds the teardrop shape without stiffening aids, the natural body of the fabric keeping the curved outer edge smooth and the neckline oval clean through repeated ceremony wear. Maroon velvet carries a depth of color that shifts between deep burgundy and rich crimson under different lighting conditions, giving the collar a regal visual presence that flat fabric cannot produce at this collar scale.

Gold fringe runs the complete outer perimeter of the teardrop shape, tracing the curved edge from one side of the neckline opening around the full outer boundary and back. Metallic gold fringe thread at this perimeter weight drapes with enough body to hang level and separate cleanly at the tips without matting together during ceremony wear, while the yellow braid at the fringe attachment line gives the transition between velvet face and fringe a defined boundary rather than a raw edge. The braid and fringe combination running the full outer curve of the teardrop shape gives the collar its ceremonial presence, the gold against the maroon velvet producing the color contrast specific to Order of the Amaranth formal dress occasions.

The Order of the Amaranth badge sits on the lower right of the velvet collar face, its multicolor star points in red, blue, green, and yellow against a white background placing the Order’s identifying emblem at a position that reads clearly against the maroon velvet without being obscured by the fringe line. Badge placement on the lower right follows the collar convention for Order of the Amaranth dress wear, where the emblem position identifies both the Order and the wearer’s membership at Lodge and chapter occasions. The white badge background sits in sharp contrast against the maroon velvet face, making the colored star points and gold center visible from across the ceremony room.

Order of the Amaranth ceremony occasions call for collar wear that signals membership and rank with precision, and the maroon velvet teardrop format with gold fringe perimeter fulfills that requirement through material quality and construction detail rather than through elaborate embellishment. The velvet face holds its pile and color through dry cleaning, and the gold fringe retains its metallic sheen when stored flat or gently rolled without compression. Meticulous attention to the fringe attachment line ensures the braid sits flush against the velvet outer edge without gaps or lifting between the braid and pile surface.
