Let me go look this up. I do know that Thomas More wore an "S" collar and he
was chancellor of England.

Please note that I said "should not" not "could not". The former implies a
choice.
Even though the discussion is about a plain gold chain and SCA, I had gotten
the impression that the woman was from Europe and had intended that the
piece of jewelry would be worn there. If so, and the gentleman is wearing a
collar of state this may run him into trouble.

We're not talking historical sumptuary restrictions in this case, we're
talking SCA sumptuary restrictions. <shrugs> If I were wearing a given
outfit in front of someone actually *from* that time period, I'd be
concerned. <tongue in cheek>  And I'd want documentation on the association
of "s" links and position/office....
