Can you tell me a bit about wearing a “Blue Lodge Ring”?  Is it appropriate for an EA to wear?

Can you recommend a reliable jeweler specializing in these rings?

Thank you,

Although you are a MASON, as soon as you take your EA oath, you should not wear “bling” identifying yourself as a Master Mason, until you have completed the Master Mason degree. I suggest that you check with your lodge secretary, and inquire what the policy is in your Grand Lodge.

Most Master Masons choose to identify themselves, either with a ring, a belt buckle, lapel pin, baseball cap, or other such identification. Many states have official Masonic vehicle license plates.

I live in Afghanistan, and I wear a stainless-steel ring here. I have a 14k gold ring back home for everyday wear, and my Grandfather’s heirloom diamond ring, for special occasions.

There are many reputable jewelers, which sell Masonic rings. One of my favorite is

There are some really good rings for sale on e-bay. You can also check the pawn shops in your local area, for a good “everyday” ring.

When I became a Master Mason I purchased my ring from Gordon Spurlock because the cost fit my budget.  I have been amazed at the durability of his product.  I work in very harsh enviroments at times and have never taken my ring off.  It shows almost no scratches and cleans up with baking soda.  He calls them “The Working Mans Ring”.

I’ll second any recommendation for Bro. Spurlock’s rings.  I have one of his rings (MM 004) and love it.

Of course you can always consider a flip ring.  I have found many practical uses.

Practical uses for your Masonic flip ring.

- It is where to keep your extra Underdog super energy pill.
- It is part of a set of Wonder Twin power rings. The rings flip to the S&C when they are touched together.
- You punch an Anti-Mason and you don’t want to leave a mark to avoid conspiracy theories.
- It is where you keep your cyanide pill in case your are captured by a bunch of Anti’s.
- It just looks like it would start a conspiracy thread.
- One word...Gadget.
- It was blank on both sides and it was anticlimactic when turned over.
- You can spin it and take bets if it lands on or off.
- With the glasses it helps hide your true identity of Clark Kent.
- It helps when you want to pick up a lot of Anti chicks.
- The Pope has one just like it.
- It’s useful when deep undercover trying to infiltrate an Odd Fellows lodge.
- My name? Bond...James Bond
- It hides the key from Ian to the treasure room below the streets of New York

All those things! WOW!

Where do I get one?!
