Blue Lodge Senior Warden Collar - Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR)

The Senior Warden Collar is an essential item of regalia for the Senior Warden—the second principal officer—within a Blue Lodge operating under the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR) jurisdiction. Worn during stated meetings, ritual ceremonies, and formal lodge events, this collar signifies authority, vigilance, and the vital role the Senior Warden plays in maintaining the Lodge’s structure and harmony.

Design & Materials:

Shape:
Classic wide V-shaped collar, designed to hang gracefully around the neck with the apex resting at mid-chest level.

Color:
Made from rich royal blue moiré ribbon, symbolizing truth, fidelity, and loyalty. The elegant moiré pattern gives the fabric a dynamic, rippled effect that reflects light with a sense of dignity and movement.

Trim:
May be lined or bordered with silver braid or piping, accentuating the collar's official function and rank within the lodge hierarchy.

Jewel:
Suspended from the point of the collar is the traditional Senior Warden jewel, which typically features:

A level, the emblem of equality and balance

In some versions, the jewel is set within a wreath or surrounded by rays to emphasize the significance of the office

Crafted from metallic silver or gold-tone alloy, sometimes with enamel accents

Fastening:
Adjustable clasp or hook-and-eye closure at the rear ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
