Description

Our True Vintage collection features one of a kind day collars hand crafted from vintage jewelry (mostly pearls, let's be real). Miss Annie hunts for vintage pieces whenever she's out and about, cleans them up and converts them into locking day collars.

Here's the thing with our True Vintage pieces

We only choose collars that are of the highest quality available. Even still, these pieces are 30-80 years old and will show wear and tear from the life they lived before they got to us.

Small scratches on a pearl here and there, fuzzy (but not fraying) threads, and mild oxidization around the original hardware can be expected and are part of the charm of vintage pieces.

    The specs on this piece
    • Four strands
    • 6mm-12mm glass pearls
    • Vintage from the 1960s
    • Cream with silver accents and pale blue crystals
    • 14" minimum length
    Lock Options

    The base price is for this day collar without a working padlock, since many of our customers already have a full collection of padlocks, and we wish to cut back on waste. But never fear! You can add on any of our custom padlocks, with engraving, if you'd like!

      Customize the size

      Any size above the minimum length will be filled in with a large link chain to match the lock you choose.

      Storage, Care, & Cleaning

        All of our pieces are made to last with proper care. 
        To keep your piece looking beautiful, we recommend the following:

        Avoid getting it wet

        • Avoid getting leather wet, as this will warp and discolor the leather and eventually cause the leather to break down.
          • If you do accidentally get your leather wet, dry it off with a towel, and lay it flat to dry thoroughly in a cool, dry place.
          • Do not heat the leather in an attempt to dry it, as this will cause the leather to crack and warp.
        • Water, from a shower, pool, lake, ocean, and even sweat will react with the plating. Rose gold contains copper, and this will cause it to oxidize. Even sterling silver will oxidize black. This goes double for any piece with beads, including pearls and crystals. Water will damage any beading.

        Avoid chemicals

        • Avoid getting sprays of any kind on your leather. Hairspray, perfume or cologne, or any other kinds of chemicals can negatively effect the finish of the leather, and build up over time.
        • Perfumes, body sprays, hair sprays, any kind of spray. Lotions, sunscreen, moisturizers. Anything you put on your body should be applied and dry before your jewelry or gear goes on.

        Don't wear it 24/7

        • ​​​​​​​Plating, unfortunately, has a lifespan, and the more you wear it, the faster it will fade. We recommend solid gold, sterling silver and stainless steel for 24/7 collars.

        Keep it clean

        • Our leather is fully finished and does not require any conditioning, however, you will want to make sure you keep it clean. 
        • To clean your leather, use a damp cloth to gently remove any dirt, oils, or any other substance. Dry with a soft cloth immediately after.
        • Do not use any cleaning products or solvents, as they can damage the color and finish of the leather.
        • ​​​Clean your jewelry and leather gear when you take it off.
          • Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove any residue.
          • For plated jewelry, this requires extra care, as polishing cloths can remove the plating very quickly. 

        Store it safely

        • ​​​​​​​Keep your jewelry wrapped in a soft cloth, bag, or in a drawer.
        • You can hang it from a jewelry organizer, just do your best to keep it clean and untangled.
        • Avoiding exposure to air will prevent silver, copper, and brass from oxidizing.

        Other Common Concerns

         

        Tarnished Sterling Silver

        • Sterling silver is called '.925 sterling silver' because it contains 92.5% fine silver, the remaining 7.5% is copper, which makes it stronger/harder and also has the unfortunate side-effect of causing it to oxidize when exposed to moisture and air.
        • Oxidization, or tarnish, in sterling silver, is black, so you may think your jewelry is dirty.
          • Often it just needs a buff with a jewelry polishing cloth to look as good as new.
          • We are happy to polish, buff and refinish sterling silver jewelry for a small fee.

        Skin Irritation & Metal Allergies

        • All Restrained Grace-made products are nickel free unless noted otherwise. 
        • Our iridescent rainbow hardware contains chromium.
        • All of our jewelry and hardware is lead and nickel free.
        • Some people occasionally experience a burning, itching and/or redness, usually on the skin beneath jewelry and gear. This condition may be due to the build-up of soaps, lotion, dead skin, etc, or it may be chafing irritation.
          • To avoid skin irritation and to keep your pieces in tip-top-shape, do not wear your pieces when using cleaning products or lotions, and clean your pieces frequently.

        Black Residue

        • Certain types of cosmetics contain chemicals that can abrade your jewelry, causing a sort of metallic dust. This metallic dust often appears black and can cause smudges on your skin or clothing.
          • To avoid this problem, put on your jewelry after applying your cosmetics.
        • Black smudges may also be caused by corrosion due to perspiration, exposure to salts and exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas (present in polluted air, some foodstuffs and industrial chemicals).
          • To avoid these smudges, we recommend that you do not wear your jewelry while handling chemicals or products containing sulfur, and gently polish your jewelry often to remove tarnish.
