WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR RING?

I got a ring from Jems Masonic Rings. They're handmade by a brother Mason in Houston. Takes around a month to arrive but it's worth the wait. The price is around 100$. I'd recommend to anyone.

While I was visiting Rome, Italy, the Brothers had taken me to the Grand Orient of Italy building. At the end of the building tour we stopped in the lobby which had several cases of rings. They asked me to pick one out and gave it to me as a gift. I was very honored and I haven't taken it off since then.

Natural rubies are more rare than natural diamonds. Lab rubies are exactly as hard as natural rubies but cost vastly less. Lab rubies have the same chemistry as natural rubies. Lab rubies shaped into rods are used in red lasers. Often lab rubies look nicer than natural ones because tiny impurities can be controlled in the lab ones. Lab rubies cost less.

My ring has a lab created stone ruby, as well as a small diamond. I was raised when I was 18 (before I even graduated high school) my Dad, who is not a mason, bought this for me as soon as I turned in my MM proficiency. And now in sit in the east and at ending UIW in San Antonio, Texas. I get comments on my light all the time.

In Texas the minimum age requirement is 18. I visited 2 lodges and I was just being myself. I found out that one of the PM's of that lodge used to work with my Dad. I asked for a petition and I started my journey to lay my very first stone.

18 is also the minimum age requirement in Florida PHA jurisdiction

I have my Grandfather's heirloom ring. He was made a Mason in 1921 in Corinth, KY. The ring is 14k gold, and has two "machine-cut" diamonds. I wear it only on special occasions. I have a solid gold ring with a synthetic ruby stone for everyday wear, and a stainless steel lodge ring that wear when I am deployed overseas.

In some countries, like France and Saudi Arabia, I do not wear any masonic identification.
