Abstract: Animal collars, and a method for their manufacture, wherein a strong decorative and substantially filamented structure that supports a sequence of adorning items is incorporated as a functioning part of the collar structure. The present invention collar has a filamented center portion and non-filamented end members configured for adjustable fastening of the collar around the neck of a pet. A looped connection on each end of the filamented portion is formed through the use of a decorative fastener and contemplated for attachment of the filamented portion to the end members. Also, the sturdy construction of the filamented portion provides the needed strength for use under stress during pet ambulation without the risk of loss for highly valued adorning items, such as but not limited to antique glass beads, crystals, pearls, faceted objects, metallic objects, and precious and semi-precious stones.
