The sign (collar) of the President of Ukraine weighs about 400 grams. The president's collar is not obligatory, but most European heads of state have such a decoration: for instance, the president's collar (male jewelry like a female necklace) is one of the symbols of state power in Bulgaria and Poland.^[1] Some countries grant another collar to the new head of the state, and the previous one passes to the national museums. An open-work chain with a historical relic – an amulet which, as the legend reads, belonged to Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Mazepa – was among the attributes of the President of Ukraine in exile.

The collar is made of white and yellow

there are guelder rose leaves of yellow gold gemmed with 96 garnets, each one and a half millimeters.

Both the seal and the collar are kept in leather cases with the velvet lodgement and the imprinted image of the lesser coat of arms of Ukraine.
