If you're familiar with jdfuncorps's YouTube channel, he wears the Crossmen and Spirit of Atlanta necklaces (often at the same time, because they're sister corps) in many of his videos.

This is my Troopers necklace:

The dogtag is not a standard part of the necklace, but they sold them on the Sheep Wagon so a lot of members would add them on. The rings - which are scarf rings originally used to hold the yellow scarfs that the Troopers used to wear - are presented to the members during world championships. The tradition is that they have to be worn as part of the uniform in a show, so after the scarves were done away with we started pinning them on to the inside of our jackets for the semifinals show.

Other corps do shako chains, Cavaliers do gears (each gear has some kind of color-coded significance), Crown does beads with each bead being unique to the theme of that year's show (then a Crown bead when you age-out), Phantom does dog tags, and that's all I can remember.

Carolina Gold, a DCA corps has a necklace with a golden ring and a show bead. Some sections will have beads specific to them but the hornline does a black bead as theirs every year I think. Every member receives a "piece of Carolina Gold" after the first show.

Madison used to not do anything. But in the past several years, they've brought the alumni into the picture with their NAIL program. Never Alone In Life. Current members in their first season get an iron NAIL that is on a necklace. That nail has the name of a sponsoring and active alumni on it. This connects the past with the current.
