briarroseethorne, there is no upkeep. To help answer, allow me to
copy & paste a customer's unedited email I received just yesterday:

Sir Farkas,

   I guess to open this missive, I would like to give my eternal
gratitude to You for making collars such as these. They are works of art
in every sense of the word. The smooth ring of the Stealth model really
stands out when the collar is worn with normal clothing, but can still
be explained away as a necklace or replacement for a wedding band.
   Mistress got me this collar after asking what i would like to have
for a collar. She seemed a little hesitant at first, due to the Gorean
aspect, but realizing how it also symbolizes eternity with the unbroken
ring really drove it home, i believe. Yet even with knowing this type
of collar was my dream collar, seeing it in really life was a definite
difference. I was in the moment, but did notice the attention to detail
with the collar. The clasp is tastefully hidden, with the screw being
fit very well into the underside of the collar.
   After a week, it feels like the collar has been on for years - no
sign of wear on the collar, no chafing of my neck. I wear the collar
everywhere, including biking, at work while cooking, and everything else
i could possibly do during any given day. I have found that small
children do like to grab a hold of it, yet since there are no real
edges, i feel comfortable letting them grab a hold of it and just keep
it in their hand. The collar is amazing in the face that no real upkeep
is needed - i shower with it on and no adverse effect once or ever.
   I cannot thank You enough for making this collar, Sir Farkas, and
possibly getting more products from You in the future. With this piece
already bought, Mistress was severely impressed with the collar, and i
was dumbfounded at the level of detail done on the collar, and still
getting it smoothly to open and close. The level craftsmanship on the
collar is amazing, and i look forward to more items from Your site.

*blushes* my slave linked me here and i can see why. there is a lovely picture of the collar around his neck on my profile. I also have many pictures of my vanilla friends trying it on before I put it on my boy. everyone is amazed by the quality and even though mine is new, I don't expect to have any issues with it. I wear the key always but take it off to shower incase the cheap chain it's on is not up to it. If anything, if you get a locking one, I would be careful of the quality of the lock.

Thank you both also.
I sent the writer of that testimonial the link to this thread and he wrote this back among other things:
"I have swam with it, in chlorine I might add, and still no discoloration or anything."
And Pirate, the chain although cheap is Stainless Steel. However the actual hex is not and the only
part of the collar and pendant that is susceptible to corrosion.

Just thought I'd add my experience. I've worn this style collar for 10 months now and have never had any problems with rust or chafing. My mother and a security person at the airport both expressed concern about things catching on it but thus far nothing like that has happened.

Most of the time I don't even feel it there it is so comfortable.

Ah, and now I know. If I could wear the pendant without worrying about it, I would, but as the hex is the most important part, I don't mind taking it off for showers. I wear it proudly, and it's a really stunning pendant on its own.
