It said Sterling on the back before I cleaned it off! I found it at a salt water beach and it had been there for some time by the looks of it when found. Any info as to what is depicted and approximate age would be appreciated.

THE DEMOLAY EMBLEM Every part of the official DeMolay Emblem has particular significance to DeMolays. The Crown is a symbol of the Crown of Youth. It constantly reminds a DeMolay of his obligations and the seven precepts of the Order. The Pearls and Red Rubies on the Crown honor the Founder and nine original youths in the Order of DeMolay. Rubies replaced the pearls when each of the original founding members and Dad Land died. The last Pearl changed with Jerome Jacobson who passed away in May 2002. The Helmet is an emblem of chivalry, which represents fine character. The Crescent is a sign of secrecy. It reminds DeMolays of their duty to never reveal the secrets of their Order or say negative things about a brother. The Five-armed White Cross symbolizes the purity of your intentions. Always remember the motto of the Order which is “No DeMolay shall fail as a citizen, as a leader and as a man.” The Crossed Swords represents justice, fortitude and mercy. They remind DeMolays not to be arrogant or intolerant. The Stars surrounding the Crescent are symbolic of hope. They should always remind us of the obligations and duties that one Brother of the Order owes to another.
