Freemasonry The Society, The Symbolism, The
Regalia
  • Masons, popularly known as the freemasons, are a
    sort of secret society which finds its origins
    linked to somewhere in the art of masonry in the
    middle ages. Although, this group is known to be
    a secret society, in the information age you can
    better refer to them as "a society with secrets.
  • The early freemasonry, based upon the literal
    craft of labor, is known as the Operative Masonry
    while the modern form of the said group, that
    finds its base in the philosophical connection to
    freemasonry, is referred to by many as
    Speculative Freemasonry.
  • These freemason societies are structured under
    the grand lodges which are found in different
    places across the world. These lodges hold their
    own set of rules and jurisdictions. But no matter
    how much diversity exists among the lodges, the
    very central belief remains the acceptance of a
    supreme being by its members and the charitable
    work within the community on a wide scale with
    the development of friendship and brotherhood
    within the lodge as well as spreading membership.
    Freemasonry is said to have a member base of
    around six million people around the world and
    the numbers are still growing every day.
  • The general icon of freemasonry is believed to be
    the symbol formed by a square and compasses. The
    square symbolizes the squaring of actions by our
    virtues and the compasses symbolize the
    circumscribing of desires. As is usually the case
    with every society or organization, there is
    always a need of some kind of uniformity or some
    sort of a symbolism that can immediately convey
    the membership of a person. Here, steps in
    Masonic jewelry.
  • Masonic jewelry items are mostly regular jewelry
    that is embedded with the Masonic symbols and
    relics. Some of these accessories also state the
    rank of the person wearing it and hence making
    their relevance even more obvious. But Masonic
    jewelry articles can be quite confusing if you
    are not aware of the meaning of different symbols
    and representations.

  • Very few jewelers are into the trade of crafting
    Masonic accessories due to the shortage of proper
    knowledge about the symbols and their importance.
    It also becomes quite difficult to work with such
    intricate symbols and represent them correctly in
    the form of small articles such as rings and
    pendants.
  • In the early ages, this task was done by a very
    small group of people who were themselves members
    of the society and knew the art of making
    jewelry. Today, quite a few companies like
    http//www.redtowerregalia.com/ are offering
    these accessories through their online stores as
    well as showrooms. These can be easily found over
    the internet and generally offer free shipping.
    Even the cost of these jewelry articles is quite
    reasonable considering the rarity and the
    exclusivity of the products.
  • Even today, these jewelry items are generally
    prepared by the people who themselves are members
    or are somehow related to the members of the
    freemasonry. Being available online has had a
    huge impact on the spreading of the interest in
    freemasonry and it's membership has been rising
    off late. The information age has thus
    transformed this secret society and its workings
    as well!
