I have been holding onto unique collar stays my entire adult life. I had never thought of it as a collection, although it obviously is. I have branded bone, horn, mother-of-pearl, sterling silver, and brass stays, mainly from Europe. Keeping track of them without losing any of them has been a challenge. Although I discarded the stays that came with this set, each section in the case will hold two stays, so my entire collection fits. At my age, dexterity has become an issue, so I was relieved that the case is flexible enough to allow me to grasp the stay ends in every section. The handsome case now lets me proudly show my stays as a collection to family and friends. For me? Perfection!
