Why You Should Wear Collar Jewelry

A defining style feature of the 1920s and 1930s, collar bars were regularly worn by well-dressed gentlemen during the Golden Age of Menswear to elevate their ties and craft unique, dashing looks. Revive this exceptional sartorial tradition with Fort Belvedere and our debonair collar bar, designed to be worn with a pinhole collar.

Hugely popular during the heyday of the Golden Age of Menswear in the Twenties and Thirties, collar jewelry has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity thanks to television shows like Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men. Even James Bond is wearing them!

Collar jewelry, like the collar bar featured here, is not only a distinctive accessory that adds unexpected visual interest and a dash of vintage flair. It also elevates and complements your tie knot and collar, adding new versatility and debonair charm to items already found in your wardrobe.

Golden Yellow

Featuring a rich yellow gold finish and a distinctive ball end design, this collar bar adds a sophisticated flair to both formal and semi-formal outfits. It functions by connecting the two sides of a dress shirt collar, creating a lifted and structured appearance that highlights the tie knot. The yellow gold hue offers a classic and opulent look, making it an essential piece for any gentleman's wardrobe.

When styling the Collar Bar with Ball End in Yellow Gold, pair it with a white or light-colored dress shirt to make the gold finish pop. This accessory pairs beautifully with ties in complementary colors, such as deep blues, rich burgundies, or classic black, adding a refined touch to your ensemble. For a cohesive look, coordinate the collar bar with other gold-toned accessories, such as cufflinks or a watch. This collar bar is particularly well-suited for special occasions, business meetings, or any event where a touch of elegance is desired.

Make Sure Your Collar Bar Fits Your Collar

In order to wear a collar bar, you must own a shirt that comes with pin holes already present and your collar bar has to span the distance between those holes.

To determine the correct size for you, measure the distance between the holes on your collar with a ruler or measuring tape.

If the distance is between 35 and 38 mm, you want the 45mm collar bar.

If the distance is between 39 and 42 mm, you want the 49 mm collar bar.

For any distance over 42 mm, you want the 53 mm collar bar.

These distances will ensure that the collar bar is just tight enough to neatly hold the collar in place without distending your collar.

Jewelry That Gets Better with Age

With regular use, your Fort Belvedere jewelry should not require any special cleaning and will naturally develop a beautiful, subtle patina that imparts personality and uniqueness.

If desired, a quality precious metal cleaner can be used sparingly to bring out a brighter shine on the metal, but this is not necessary. All of our jewelry is sturdy enough that you can wear it without concern and can look forward to passing them on to your children or even grandchildren.

Collar Bars Made to Last

As a piece of jewelry that is regularly worn, it is paramount that your collar bar be made to last. That's why we decided to craft ours out of a solid base metal, either 925 sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel. Durable, pliable, and strong, a base metal was truly the best material for these collar pins as it won't wear down or break from the repetitive motion of screwing and unscrewing the end caps of this collar bar.

To give this collar bar a beautiful luster, we then thickly coated its body in a precious metal. Doing so imparts the incredible beauty of gold or platinum to this piece of jewelry without adversely affecting its functionality or durability. Thanks to the thick plating and our particular attention to quality, this collar bar appears as though it is made from solid gold or platinum and will elicit compliments from everyone who sees it.

What makes this collar bar from Fort Belvedere special?

The recent revival of interest in collar jewelry, sparked by period films and TV shows in which characters wear these accessories, has created a glut on the market as inferior manufacturers pump out cheap examples to take advantage of this fad. Don't be fooled: only reputable dealers like Fort Belvedere produce collar jewelry that is worth your hard earned money.

Our collar bars are solidly constructed out of a premium base metal like 925 sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel to ensure durability and the best functionality. We then coat the pins in a thick layer of gold or platinum, creating a piece of jewelry that is indistinguishable from much more expensive examples made from pure precious metals. Because of the genuine heft of this collar bar, it presents a strong and dynamic effect spanning the distance between the leaves of your collar.

Fort Belvedere is proud to manufacture collar jewelry to the same exacting standards that were typical during the Golden Age of Menswear when these exceptional accessories rose to prominence.

  • Solid Base Metal Construction

    Built to last, this collar jewelry is fashioned out of a durable base metal like 925 sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel, unlike most of the cheap and hollow examples put out by other makers. Fabricated by skilled Austrian craftsmen, the workmanship on this piece far exceeds the quality of other collar jewelry on the market today. Each piece is also carefully plated in precious metal so that the best materials are used at every level of construction.

  • 2 Micron Thick Plating

    Although we considered crafting this collar jewelry out of solid precious metals, we determined that doing so would be cost prohibitive for the majority of our customers. Therefore, we sought to achieve the best of both worlds by making the body out of a durable and functional base metal but to plate the jewelry with a thick 2 micron layer of gold or platinum. This thick coating will never come off with regular wear and makes the collar jewelry look like it was made from solid gold or silver for a fraction of the price.

  • Stylish End Caps

    The end caps of our collar bars feature visually interesting designs modeled on the styles worn during the Golden Age of Menswear. Not only do the end caps keep the bar securely positioned relative to your collar, they provide another opportunity for you to express your personal style and personality.
