Gourt Home::Gourt :: Collar (jewelry)
In jewelry, a collar is an ornament for the neck.
Collar is an older word for necklace, and is usually reserved today for a necklace that lies flat to the body rather than hanging freely.
Specifically, collar may refer to:
- A wide choker popular in the Edwardian period (also called a dog collar); the style was introduced by Princess (later, Queen) Alexandra of Denmark who wore it to hide a scar on her neck.
- The various livery collars or chains of office worn by officers of state in England and the United Kingdom, and the chains worn with the insignia of various Orders of Knighthood.
- Any massive necklace of the sixteenth century or earlier.
