I know there is a post where it's basically asking the story behind your ring and a lot of you had rings passed down to you but my question is where is the best place to buy a ring and how much do you think is a reasonable price to drop on my first one? Thanks for any help.

1) Set your budget.

2) As brother josh has mentioned, peruse those avenues with price in mind.

3) Make sure the ring you are considering will hold up to your daily demands.
-- Don't expect to wear an extravagant ring every day unless you're in an office setting.

4) Dont be embarrassed to get a stainless steel ring. There are several sites out there with rings made by a Brother for a Brother. Jemsbyjem and gordons to name a few.

5) You will be rescuing a ring if you go on eBay or visiting a pawn shop.
-- Just a word of advice when visiting a pawn shop. Know the price of silver or gold per GRAM and OUNCES before visiting. Do not over pay there.

Just for the record, these are the same rings. Gordon's is the maker's site, Jemsbyjem is the eBay seller he uses.

Thanks I'll check that out as well. And Gordon's has some beautiful rings!!! And $105 is not a bad price for those artistic rings.

I have two different Gordon's rings; one a classic S&C on a black stone, the other a lodge ring. I'm happy with both, and would buy from him again in an instant.

@rmcgehee I looked at them they are very nice. I would have to get one as a second or third ring though. lol For now I probably will go with Gordon's but your suggestion did not go unnoticed. As for @MarkR i would like to see pics if you have them.

That Brother does some beautiful work. I still can 't narrow it down to one choice.

Ask and you shall receive:


These are all my Masonic rings. The two on the left are from Gordon, the third I got off eBay, and the furthest right is my Scottish Rite 14° ring. If you click on the picture it will go full screen so you can see detail better.

Usually a daily rotation, but I always wear the 14° ring on Scottish Rite nights, and the black stone one is my "go-to" ring for general wear because it's the most identifiable.

I actually just ordered my very first ring off of Amazon. It's Tungsten Carbide. It's supposed to be very tough so we'll see how it turns out. I also just ordered a novelty Freemason $1,000,000 bill also lol. Just for kicks. :11:

My next ring or 2 will definitely be from Gordon's. This was just something to hold me over and last a while.
