This beautiful hand-made Royal Arch Mason jewel dates to the Revolutionary War and is a fine example of what early Masonic jewels looked like. This jewel has the name of the Lodge and the name of an individual owner. It is engraved Abrm HARDENBERGH, LIVINGSTON LODGE No. 23. It also has the original owners "mark" which is the "sheaf of wheat" on the chapter penny within the circle K, S, H, T, W, S, S, T. These letters are esoteric and cannot be explained here. Royal Arch Masons remember the order of the these letters with the humorous phrase "King Solomon Had Twelve Wives Some Say Twenty". Both sides of this jewel display the Three Great Lights which are the Holy Bible, Square and Compasses. Other working tools on this jewel are the plumb, level, 24 inch gauge, common gavel, chisel and trowel. Other symbolism includes the Sun, Moon and Stars, as well as Jacobs Ladder. It measures 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide and is made of silver. It is a wonderful example of early craftsmanship. | This beautiful hand-made Royal Arch Mason jewel dates to the Revolutionary War and is a fine example of what early Masonic jewels looked like.
