Worshipful Master Collars

Worshipful Master Collars are an important part of Masonic regalia, worn by
the presiding officer of a Masonic Lodge. These collars are distinctive in
both design and symbolism, representing the authority, dignity, and
responsibility of the Worshipful Master.

Key Features:

Shape & Style:

Traditionally a V-shaped collar, worn around the neck and resting on the
shoulders.

Usually wider and more elaborately decorated than those of other officers.

Material:

Commonly made of high-quality ribbon, moiré, or velvet.

Often lined and edged with metallic braid or embroidery.

Color:

In Craft (Blue) Lodges, Worshipful Master collars are usually light blue
(symbolizing friendship and harmony).

Higher degrees and jurisdictions may use different colors, often with gold
embellishments.

Jewel Attachment:

The collar holds the Worshipful Master’s Jewel—the Square—which signifies
morality, integrity, and fairness in leadership.

The jewel is suspended from the collar at the center of the chest.

Embellishments:

Some collars include fringes, embroidered emblems, or decorative bullion
lace to mark higher dignity.

In certain lodges, the collar may carry lodge identification, such as the
lodge number or emblem.

Symbolism:

The collar represents the weight of office—the duty and responsibility of
guiding the Lodge.

The jewel (Square) reminds the Master to govern with fairness and moral
rectitude.

Variations:

Craft Lodges: Light blue, simple design with the Square jewel.

Grand Lodge: More ornate, often dark blue with gold trim.

Other Orders: Different colors and embroidery according to the rite or
degree.

collars across Blue Lodge, Grand Lodge, and higher Masonic bodies so you
can easily see the differences?
