Victorian Period Diamond Masonic Locket

Victorian, C1900

Masonic jewelry holds a rich history dating back centuries, intricately woven with the traditions and symbolism of Freemasonry. Originating in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Masonic jewellery served as symbols of membership, rank, and affiliation within the secretive fraternity. These pieces often feature iconic symbols such as the square and compasses, the letter G, and various architectural motifs, each carrying deep symbolic significance within Masonic teachings. Over time, Masonic jewellery evolved to include rings, pins, cufflinks, and pendants, becoming cherished symbols of brotherhood, morality, and enlightenment among Freemasons worldwide. Today, Masonic jewellery continues to be worn with pride by members of the fraternity, serving as tangible reminders of their commitment to its principles and values.

This exquisite antique English locket is crafted from solid 9 carat gold and features a Masonic set square and compass, adorned with sparkling rose cut diamonds. The locket opens to reveal a space for a photograph or small keepsake.
