Collars

[NemoAlia]

So, here's a collaring question: For those who believe in a serious, formal relationship significance for the collar, when do you think collaring is appropriate? Is it something you consider more as a signifier of goals met and growth achieved? Or more a commitment to grow together and work toward those goals?

This isn't a collar per se, but I thought it was so pretty. It also cracks me up that I found it on the J. Peterman website. I haven't been able to look at that catalog with a straight face since Seinfeld.

I like that one too, particularly pretty for a formal evening out...you know a black dress and tie affair...

I'm curious about collars and how you use them and why. What do they mean to you, when do you give/receive one, and what do they look like?

Feel free to post lots of pics. I'm very curious to hear what you all think.

Mine is in my avatar Symbolizes my being owned that I am completely his.

Finally found a pic of the collar I made for my first slave. When we added a second and became a poly family, I made a duplicate. The silver mesh bows up when the collar is laid out flat, and pulls flush against the leather when the collar is worn around the neck.

Since that time I have always handmade at least one collar for the girl who is mine. Other than those first two, each has been unique.

VERY lovely

When you're serious about being together. Yes, definitely goals achieved and reward earned. But also a show of commitment, much like a wedding ring, engagement ring or other term of endearment.

I intend on giving a training collar when I find a slave worthy of one. It will tide him over until I can fasten a permanent one.
It is a sign of his commitment as slave and My ownership.
The training collar can be worn each night as he sleeps before W/we start co-habitating as part of a ritual. It is a decorative designed dog collar.
I have two styles of permanent collars. One is called an Eternal collar -solid steel with a hinge and key.
The other is more like a decorative choker. (masculine) A SW design. he will wear this one in the years he has to work in public.
When he retires, I will present him with the Eternal one.

i like the idea of a collar, i like the idea of a lot of things lol. i just want to say how jealous i am of you all who have the kind of relationship where you feel secure and loved like that. i once suggested getting a tag to wear on a ribbon so i could wear it all the time with my everyday clothes. he seemed into it but then the idea just disappeared. i hope one day i find somebody to be that close with instead of just being the greeneyed monster. loving all the pics, so gorgeous a lot of them!
