Another piece from my inheritance.

Masonic ring (?) made from unknown metal. Tarnished with a yellowish tint, not very heavy. Appears to either have been made flat and soldered together or resized once (found a seam). Outside has Hebrew "yod" symbol, but appears to be upside down in the triangle. Inside is stamped "(unknown symbol) VIRTUS JUNXIT MORS NON SEPARABIT". Reason I'm not sure about the authenticity, is that it's supposed to be a 14th degree Scottish Rite Mason ring, but the yod is upside down and it feels like it's really cheap metal. Any clues?

Here.

A year and a half ago I found an old Masonic ring that I couldn't get dated either.
One of our members suggested emailing a photo and question to Washington.
They got back to me within a week and told my ring was made in England and was made in the 1700's.
Pretty cool.
I don't think yours is very old.
The circular shape of the ring symbolizes unending commitment and loyalty, just as it does in marriage.

Since 1991, the Scottish Rite Research Society (SRRS) has become one of the most dynamic forces in Masonic research today, pursuing a publication program emphasizing quality—both in content and physical form. While it has its administrative offices at the House of the Temple in Washington, D.C., it is open to all. We encourage anyone interested in deepening his or her understanding of Freemasonry to become a member and make the SRRS your research society. :wink:
