The reserved charge for the knighthood is an Orle or annulet of chain
with no indication of color. While the practice of giving silver chains
to squires is done in some kingdoms by tradition, the unadorned chain is
formally the province of the knighthood. The appropriate language can
be found in the College of Arms Glossary of Terms,
heraldry.sca.org/coagloss.html. There are many knight chains with long
lineages that have become black over the years and they are no less for
having lost the golden luster.
