Freemasonry is a fraternity rich in tradition, whose roots go back to the great cathedral lodges of the Middle Ages. It spread particularly quickly in England: the first regular lodge was founded in London in 1717 - a milestone in the history of modern Freemasonry. This signet ring is part of this long tradition and served as a sign of recognition for lodge members. Crafted from 14-karat gold, the piece features a two-tone layered agate, artfully cut into a classic signet stone. The central symbols of Freemasonry are engraved on the surface: compass and square - tools of knowledge - as well as the letter "G". This is often interpreted as an abbreviation for geometry, the "fifth science", but also as a reference to God or gnosis - spiritual knowledge. The design of the ring band and setting is characterized by the formal language of late Art Deco. It allows the ring to be stylistically classified as dating from around 1940. This well-preserved piece came to us from London.
