Definition: this item is a ceremonial neck collar — a sky-blue neck ribbon with a suspended red‑purple enameled fleury (gigliata) Greek cross, bearing the traditional symbols of the Order. Sold by a specialist military surplus and tactical store, it suits ceremonial, representational and dress-duty contexts.

Main features

Carefully crafted to match the Order’s heraldic tradition, the collar combines visual recognizability with ceremonial dignity.

• Sky-blue neck ribbon designed to be worn around the neck.
• Red‑purple enameled fleury (gigliata) Greek cross in the traditional shape.
• I.H.S.V. letters on the four arms (In Hoc Signo Vinces).
• Central cristogram XP with Alpha and Omega symbols.
• Gold crown, red‑enameled surmounting the cross to signal nobility and authority.
• Suspended cross format for clear visibility when worn over formal dress or uniform.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: wear the collar around the neck with the cross suspended centrally on the chest and the ribbon kept straight and symmetrical. In most cases, the collar is used at official ceremonies, liturgical celebrations and representative events where a formal insignia is required.

The collar is a visible heraldic element — not a daily accessory — and should be worn according to protocol for orders and chivalric insignia. It complements formal dress, uniforms and ceremonial attire used in military surplus, tactical or duty presentation contexts.

Care and notes

Store and handle the collar to preserve enamel, finishes and the ribbon; small precautions extend its life and keep the appearance formal and correct.

• Keep in a protective case to avoid scratches and impacts.
• Avoid moisture and prolonged exposure to humidity to protect metal and enamel.
• Position the ribbon symmetrically and avoid twisting when worn.
• Handle the piece by the ribbon or attachment, not by the enameled surface.
