If the new brother has family in the Lodge, I could see it happening. I didn't get a ring, but several brothers have handed down various pins and tie tacks to me.

Right after I was raised the brother that taught me all my language asked me if I had a ring yet. I replied I was going to order one. He immediately took off his ring and told me to wear his until mine came in. I returned it a week later when my ring arrived but that one act meant the world to me and the memory is fresh in my mind.
God bless you Ernie Beck and I wish you well always.

My stepdad and a few uncles were in\at my degree and my uncle presented me with a ring. I could not wear it without having it sized to fit me, but it was a gesture I will never forget.

Our lodge does not give a ring. However, when my son was raised, I gave him my first Masonic ring.

I never heard about a lodge giving their MMs a ring. Most get it from family or buy it themselves.

No, but they'll give you something better than bling.
