The Perfect Collar

[wingsofanangel]

If you could pick your own collar what kind would you want? What would it look like? Would it have fur? Diamonds? Leather?

I know you'd be happy with whatever your Master gave you.. but come on.. lets live in a fantasy for a bit... if you could choose what would it look like?


Do you already own your dream collar? Lets see it!

Mine:

A black leather collar with black velvet lining the inside and garnets dotting the entire perimiter around the outside.

I LOVE garnets more than anything.... I'd take a slim metal one too, maybe with a garnet in the centre.. okay.. ANYTHING with a garnet... heh...

Mine, would be something on the feminine side. Metal though, with a screw down clasp. It would have my birthstone on it. I don't need nor want anything bold. It's not me. I like subtal things. Thin wire collar with a special print and several small saphires around the collar. That's me. Just thought of something....I think I would love to have my Master's birthstone as the center stone. Right in front for everyone to see.

[Silke]

Subwife...what's birthstone? *curious*

[submissivewife]

oppss should have said that...saphire

[Silke]

lol, and I should write in coherent sentences...guess I'll need to get some sleep after all. I was wondering what birthstones are in general, but I found out in the meantime. Mine's an aquamarine by the way.

And I love the idea of putting your Master's birthstone in your collar...a nice subtle gesture that means so much but isn't obvious to just anyone.

To throw in my two cents at the original question - I really can't make up my mind about this. I really like the feel of leather around my neck and having a more 'in your face' kind of collar. On the other hand I really adore some of the more jewelry like collars...preferably one that is screwed close. Either way I would opt for a personalized collar - maybe having a message or name engraved? I really like the idea of birthstones, too...or anything that has a special meaning for both the Master and the sub. *sighs*

My collar would have to be strong, yet soft; I have sensitive skin, so usually such things start to itch easily. Maybe pliable leather with a soft lining, not furry though. With no decoration except for a ring in the front.

Or else it would just be one of the master's old belts, adjusted tight. Belts are a turn-on for me, possibly because they're an innocent object which suggests bondage.

I happen disagree with being happy with whatever collar my Master gives me. I wouldn't be happy with just any type of collar at all. To me the Collar is incredibly important, symbolic, and a reflection of life together as Master/slave or Dominant/submissive.

I want something that is beautiful and uniquely mine. Not something you can get off any BDSM jewelry site. I am very fortunate that my Dom knows me very well and knows how fussy I can be. He is just as meticulous on the selection of our permanent collar. Which is fun for us and can cause some anxiety as you can imagine.

When we have been together for one year, we will have a collaring ceremony and I will receive my permanent collar. We are leaning heavily towards something that is two toned with gold and either silver, white gold or titanium. I love the idea of having his birthstone, which is an emerald, and perhaps mine which is an aquamarine. I think the two colors would look great together. I love the idea of having a heart shaped lock on it. All I know is that it has to be something that we both love and will want to have around my neck for years and years to come. Like a wedding ring, it symbolizes our forever commitment to each other.

arwcuw, you mentioned liking the idea of wearing your Master's old belt for a collar. My Joe used one of his old favorite belts to make my training collar. It is very special to me since it was something he really liked. The rest of the belt is used as a strap which is lots of fun!

Here is a pic of both my collars. The silver one is the one I wear during the day and out in public. It will be replaced at the end of the year.

i agree that is should be something that is special to both Dominant/submissive. Something that will signify their union. i personally would love a leather one with Mistress' birthstone and mine set on the collar. At my Mistress' suggestion i had a special tag made for my training collar

Interesting thread...this is my collar and I love it. Leather and fur lined, comfortable yet constricting LOL.

[KermitsKeeper]

Master Evan is making my collar. I have no idea what it will look like, but he knows me well so I am sure it will be something I'll like and can wear with pride.

[Silke]

Oh wow...his_pita - love 'em both!! Although the one made of your Master's belt is really special...wonderful idea. *smiles*

dhyanna - love your collar, too! Thank you so much for posting the pictures, gals - you rock!

[Uncle_Ed]

A good collar is one with no bells!

How else do you expect to creep up on those mice? Sorry you call them "men"?

I have a collar, but it wasn't given to me by my dominant. He lives too far away. It was given to me by a domme friend because she wanted me to have it. It used to be hers. She's never been my dominant. It was interesting she had a subbie collar. When she gave it to me, she told me she's a switch. So, in a way, it is symbolic, but I'm not sure what it's symbolic of.

The times I wear it are special, like when I'm most submissive, do tasks, or play with him.

I often wear it sitting naked writing a piece from a submissive point of view. It brings out very powerful feelings in me and it is when I'm most creative.

[submissivewife]

. It brings out very powerful feelings in me and it is when I'm most creative.

I know what you mean by this point. I loved when I was collared. I felt most complete. I am looking forward to being collared again......

I made a collar for my first assignment at the Academy and just love the way it feels around my neck.
I am actually jealous of all the teens who can get away with the collars as jewelry I like the black webbing and silver rings.
Master asked me to make a collar for myself, one I could wear daily. He lives in the UK I in the States. I made a few he picked one, the nestled hearts. I love touching it and knowing it says I’m his.
I think my dream collar would be one that he placed around my neck and locked.

[Silke]

You MADE this? Wow...I'm impressed!

[Tae'lyn]

Hello all.

I received my collar almost a year ago, and I absolutely love that I can wear it daily. I recall walking around the first month or so, wondering if everyone knew what it meant to me. Many comments were just on how unique it was, and questions on how it actually locked on.

I would get some knowing looks from people, I would assume they may have guessed what it was, but overall I found it is the perfect mix of everyday wear and steel locking collar. I also find the weight to be heavy, but not so heavy to be uncomfortable. It is called an eternity collar, for anyone that would like to see what they look like. http://www.eternitycollars.com

You MADE this?

It amazes me what I can make from old stuff I have laying around.
I so love the feel of them both around my throat.

I've felt the same way. It gives me such a rush when people touch my necklace collar. Or when I fiddle with it thinking about Master.

[Silke]

Hiya Tae'lyn...oh, I love those eternity collars *smiles* and I can relate to the feeling of wearing a collar on a daily basis...I keep wondering whether people know what it stands for, and yeah Sbbe - I feel the same rush when I catch myself touching it...*sighs*.

Oh...and Tae'lyn!!

[Tae'lyn]

Thank you for the welcome. Great to find a place to feel comfortable in posting. I hope to be able to contribute more as I get caught up on some reading of the other threads.

Getting caught up on those long threads can take forever. Smiles. I'm just to chicken to jump in till I'm sure I'm not really repeating someone.
Welcome

[Silke]

Hey...don't worry about repeating someone, just say what's on your mind. The more input a topic gets, the better in my opinion.

[Tae'lyn]

I am enjoying reading some of the thoughts to the other threads. I decided to put my voice to this one as it was one subject I felt I could possibly contribute some of my own experience.

I will try not to lurk in the shadows of the boards though, and put my two cents in when I can

Tae'lyn

[submissivewife]

great to have you join in on the discussion. If you have thoughts on a collar we would love to hear them..what would your perfect collar be?

[Silke]

subwife...if you scroll up just a little bit...

uummm I did it again didn't I?

[Silke]

Lol...and I love it every time! *big grin*

[submissivewife]

Lol...and I love it every time! *big grin*

*giggles* I noticed!

[Tae'lyn]

Okay, well...um,

sorry subwife, sometimes I sneak about a thread so lightly you miss me totally.

I received my collar last year, an eternity collar, I love it. Best gift I have ever had by far.

Tae'lyn

[submissivewife]

Sorry, Tae'lyn...sometimes I get behind and tend to quickly go through posts without reading them properly. Sorry, but thank you for telling us about your collar. I've been looking at collars through Eternity for a while now. I like them...simple and not flashy. I met a slave once that had one, I loved the look.
