Day Collar Meaning
A day collar is the everyday version of a D/s collar: a necklace worn in public, at work or with family, that carries a meaning for two people and looks like ordinary jewelry to everyone else. Many couples keep a leather play collar for the bedroom and a day collar for outside. Some wear one piece for both. There is no fixed rule about who gives it or when; for most, it marks a relationship that has become serious. Some couples choose it together; others make the moment a small ceremony.
Day Collar Necklace for Women
A day collar has to pass as jewelry, so the usual shapes are a slim choker, a fine chain with a pendant, or a rigid steel ring. The heart padlock necklace is a stainless steel Cuban chain closed by a heart lock: it reads as a statement chain. The rigid stainless steel collar, in 120 or 140 mm, is the most formal. The heart lock choker with key is faux leather and the softest option.
Discreet day collar with lock and key
A lock is the modern code for a collar: one person wears it, the other keeps the key. Stainless steel does not tarnish, so a steel day collar can stay on through showers and sleep. Measure around the base of the neck; a rigid collar needs room for one finger.
O-Ring Necklace Meaning
The O-ring comes from the 1954 novel Story of O, in which the heroine wears a ring as a sign of submission. Since then, an O-ring choker or pendant has been the oldest symbol in kink jewelry. In thin gold on a fine chain, it reads as minimalist design; on a leather collar with a larger ring, the message is plainer.
O-ring choker or day collar?
An O-ring choker is one type of day collar. If you want the symbol without the collar, a handcuff bracelet or a padlock necklace carries the same idea further from the neck.
