Scottish Rite 32nd Degree Chain Collar Gold Plated – Purple Velvet Wings Up

Description

Scottish Rite 32nd Degree Chain Collar Gold Plated – Purple Velvet Wings Up

Gold plated metal against deep purple velvet is a pairing that Scottish Rite ceremony has refined across generations of degree work, and this collar carries that combination with the weight and presence the 32nd degree demands. Scottish Rite 32nd degree chain collar gold plated sits against a purple velvet backing that runs the full collar circumference, the velvet ground giving the gold link work a deep contrast that plain fabric backing cannot deliver.

The chain itself is constructed from alternating rectangular and circular links, each one cast with ornate decorative detail that reads clearly at close range during formal Scottish Rite ceremony. Rectangular links carry the primary decorative patterning, the casting detailed enough to hold its definition through the gold plating process without losing the surface relief that makes each link distinct. Circular rosette links sit between the rectangular sections, the alternating rhythm giving the chain a visual structure that holds across the full collar circumference. A gold sunburst centerpiece sits at the lowest point of the collar front, the circular form anchoring the chain at the chest during ceremony wear.

Purple velvet backing supports the full chain from behind, keeping the links sitting flat against the chest and shoulders rather than shifting during movement through the degree working. A gold safety chain on the right side secures the collar in its open position, the fine chain link construction matching the gold finish of the main collar without adding visual weight to the right side of the piece.

The wings up design carries specific meaning within 32nd degree Scottish Rite symbolism, representing spiritual aspiration and the pursuit of the higher ideals that this degree places before its members. That symbolic intention is carried through construction as much as design, the gold plating applied at a grade that holds its finish through repeated ceremony use and presentation across the full Scottish Rite calendar.

Members who have attained the 32nd degree wear this collar during official Scottish Rite ceremonies and formal gatherings, and the construction here answers the visibility demands those occasions place on every piece of officer dress. Gold plating at excellent quality holds its surface presentation through the Lodge year, yet the velvet backing keeps the collar comfortable against formal dress shirts through extended ceremony evenings.

The alternating link construction sits level across the shoulders when worn correctly, presenting the full chain in the even arc that formal Scottish Rite collar dress requires.
