spiked collar

Edgy dog accessory

A spiked collar is a band worn around the neck studded with metal spikes or conical studs.

Originally designed for dogs—the spikes protecting against bites from predators or other animals—the style was adopted in punk fashion as an accessory signaling rebellion or toughness: She paired the leather jacket with a spiked collar.

In BDSM contexts, collars including spiked varieties may signal a submissive role.
