Gentleman's Custom Made 14KT White Gold 1.68CTW Masonic Freemason 3-Stone Diamond Ring

This outstanding men's Masonic Freemason ring is custom-crafted in beautiful white gold. It features the three elements displayed in a sideways presentation: the square, the compasses, and the letter “G.” The square and compasses signify the tools of the architect and builder, which reflect the history of Masonry and are also used in metaphor to teach lessons in the Masonic lodge. The “G” at its center remains subject to dispute; some experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, believe the “G” in the symbol's center represents geometry, a critical field to the first Freemasons, while others believe it represents God, the “Grand Architect of the Universe.” The letter G is meant to remind Freemasons that their lives and actions are performed in the presence of God. A bezel set diamond can be found at the junctions where the compass meets, a smaller diamond is located in the middle of the 'V' and a much larger, round brilliant cut diamond is bezel set at the base of the symbols.

Authentic masonic rings are types of rings that show membership to the Masonic brotherhood. In the most basic sense, the meaning of a Freemason ring is to symbolize the member's ongoing loyalty to the world's oldest fraternal organization. A masonic ring is typically worn by master masons. When a mason first begins his journey, there are three initial rankings within the organization. The three levels are entered apprentice, journeyman, and master. The pinky finger is mostly acceptable for the ring and it becomes even more acceptable the further up in the tradition that one advances. Freemasonry or Masonry refers to fraternal organizations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 13th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Their ceremonies are based on three principles that are still taught in the ceremonies today: look after those less fortunate, improve yourself, and live life well so as to be remembered for the right reasons.
