When the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of New Zealand (Grand Chapter) was
constituted in 1892, it was decided that regalia would follow the pattern of that used by the Grand Chapter of Scotland.
Today Grand Chapter has official regalia and requires Chapters to use the regalia in this guide when replacing existing regalia.
However, as regalia specifications have been updated at various times, Grand Chapter has allowed some Chapters to use regalia, collars, and jewels that are of historical importance to the Chapter concerned (or were inuse by joining Chapters before the formation of Grand Chapter).
Some regalia variations are shown in this guide, although we are aware that other regalia has not been worn in many years and is still stored in cupboards or boxes.
Therefore, those variations have not been included in this guide.
