Royal Arch Chapter Chain Collar – Gold Plated Purple Velvet

Description

Royal Arch Chapter Chain Collar – Gold Plated Purple Velvet

Within the Royal Arch chapter, the chain collar marks the officer who wears it as a companion of standing, dressed correctly for the occasion and the office the chapter has placed upon him. The collar is not worn casually. It is placed as part of the formal opening of the chapter and removed with the same ceremony, a piece of regalia that belongs to the proceedings of the Royal Arch as surely as the working tools belong to the Blue Lodge.

Gold plating covers the chain and all fittings, delivering a finish that presents with clarity under chapter lighting and holds its character through repeated exaltation ceremonies, chapter meetings, and formal gatherings of the Royal Arch. The gold is consistent across the full length of the collar, presenting without variation from one side to the other and maintaining its appearance through a full chapter season without requiring significant care or attention. Symbolic insignia incorporated into the collar connect each element of the piece to the tradition and working of the Royal Arch chapter, each one placed correctly within the overall design.

Purple velvet forms the backing, a material whose colour carries particular significance within the Royal Arch degree. Purple has long been associated with the dignity, spirituality, and enlightenment that the Royal Arch places at the centre of its working. The velvet sits against the collar body with the weight and softness required for correct drape when worn, allowing the chain to hang and present as the chapter and the occasion demand.

Construction throughout is held to an excellent quality standard, ensuring the gold plating, purple velvet backing, and all fittings perform consistently and correctly across the full run of chapter occasions. Individual inspection is carried out on every collar before dispatch, so ceremonial quality is assured on arrival.
