The Masonic Master Ring is a sterling silver ring carrying the square and compasses, the emblem of Freemasonry, with the letter G held at their center for geometry and for the Great Architect. The two tools are interlaced rather than set side by side, and the emblem is cut deep into the face of the ring.The shoulders carry further Masonic motifs, so the design runs down the sides instead of stopping at the face. The square and compasses stand for measured conduct and for keeping one's actions within bounds, worn as a fraternal symbol rather than a religious piece.
