Kohinoor Jewellery

Over on Etsy again Kohinoor Jewellery do a very nice http://www.etsy.com/listing/82375140/sterling-silver-byzantine-inspired-weave">Byzantine weave necklace in sterling silver with a dangling pendant that while intended for purely vanilla applications as far as I can tell could make a very nice day collar.  Due to the denseness of the  weave it gives a good appearance of being solid whilst also being flexible looking, suitable for any top to hook their finger through and give a tug on :)

Elegant Collars

Elegant Collars is a site designed for custom woven chainmail day collars, and some of the stuff there is just fantastically shiny and neat and ordered (okay, its elegant, I can't resist it).  I was initially attracted by seeing the Infinity Collar a series of large O's connected by chainmail bundles, all nicely interlocking, really should be seen to be believed.  Additionally to this they also do designs inspired by mobius strips called the Mobius Chain which is a particularly nice weave.  On the less shiny and neck covering front they also do some neat anklets, I particularly liked their triskelion anklet, which seems subtle, functional and suitable for attaching bells to (I'll admit I have a fondness for jingling).

Absolute Devotion

An interesting collar maker from Etsy is Absolute Devotion.  They make a whole series of fabric collars featuring heavy amounts of lace and brocade as well as D&O and Post-O front rings.  The sort of thing that really attracted me includes contour collars, high posture collars with corset backs and more traditional BDSM back buckle style collars with padlock closure.
