How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Wear the full collar for visible ceremonial use and choose the miniature gala for formal uniforms, lapels or less conspicuous display. The collar is primarily intended as a ceremonial decoration or collector’s item.

In most cases, the 3.5 cm collar format gives a stronger presence at investitures and public ceremonies, while the 1.3 cm miniature is better suited to gala dress, miniature displays or collections where a subtler piece is preferred.

Care and notes

Keep the collar in a dry, protected place and handle it carefully to preserve the enamel and silk ribbon.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity or harsh chemicals to protect the enamel and ribbon.
• Store flat in a padded box or display case to prevent bending or wear.
• Handle by the ribbon rather than gripping the enamel surface to limit fingerprints and scratches.
• Limited stock is available and demand can be high; order promptly if you need a specific size.
