Shriners Chain Collar – Gold Plated on Red Velvet Backing

Description

Shriners Chain Collar – Gold Plated on Red Velvet Backing

Shriners Chain Collar runs in a full oval across the neck and shoulders, its gold plated chain construction mounted against a rich red velvet backing that commands attention the moment the wearer enters the Lodge room. The deep crimson velvet field and the warm gold plating work together in a color pairing that carries immediate ceremonial recognition within Shrine and Council fraternal occasions.

Rectangular gold plated panels form the primary links of the chain, each panel face carrying an embossed symbolic motif that references the insignia of the order. The panels connect through smaller gold link sections that maintain consistent spacing around the full oval, keeping the chain line even as it drapes across the shoulders and chest. Two circular medallion panels anchor the collar at the front shoulder positions, their round form distinguishing them from the rectangular links and providing visual anchor points on both sides of the chest. A central front medallion sits at the lowest point of the oval, larger in proportion than the surrounding links and positioned as the focal piece of the full collar composition.

Red velvet lines the full backing of the chain collar, its pile depth holding the gold chain in position during wear without the links shifting or rotating on the backing surface. The velvet carries a consistent deep red tone across the full collar width, and the contrast it creates against the gold plated chain face is sharp enough to make each panel emblem read clearly at ceremony distance. Crimson velvet at this depth also carries a formal weight that suits Council, Royal and Select, and Shrine ceremonial occasions where regalia color carries rank meaning.

Gold plating covers every panel, link, and connector across the full oval without variation in finish tone between sections. The plating sits over a structured base that gives the chain its drape weight, keeping the collar in its oval form during procession and formal ceremony movement. The gold finish reflects ceremony lighting evenly across the panel faces, giving the collar a consistent brightness from every viewing angle in the Lodge room.

This collar is designed for members of the Masonic Cryptic Mason, Royal and Select council, making it appropriate for installation ceremonies, formal council gatherings, and Shrine occasions where correct fraternal regalia is required. The red and gold color scheme aligns with the ceremonial tradition of these orders and confirms membership and rank without additional identification.

The full oval construction holds its form through extended ceremony wear, with the velvet backing keeping the chain positioned correctly across the shoulders from opening procession through closing.
