Summary

Description
English: The collar is worn by members around the neck on ceremonial occasions. It was introduced in the 15th and 16th centuries. The collar is composed of gold heraldic knots alternating with enamelled medallions, each showing a red rose encircled by the Garter. The garters are enamelled blue with gold letters giving the motto of the order, HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE (‘The shame be his who thinks ill of it’). The garter links alternate with double gold knots in the fashion of a cord with four tassel ends.
