Royal Arch / Allied Masonic Degrees–Type Jewel (Uninscribed) (42.09 x 24.19 mm, 9.57 g). Maker: Unmarked Material: Gilt metal with white enamel Date: c. 1910–1930 (stylistic estimate) A large, ornate gilt fraternal jewel, consisting of a triple-section floral suspension and cream-coloured ribbon, leading to an intricate open-work medallion. The central motif is a hexagram (double triangle) containing Latin mottos, typical of late-Victorian and early-20th-century esoteric fraternal societies, including Royal Arch–related bodies, the Allied Masonic Degrees, and associated side-orders. Suspension & Ribbon Three gilt bars, each with raised floral decoration, connected by cream silk ribbon in the original long ceremonial format. A long Victorian-style pin remains intact on the reverse. Obverse The medallion features: A double triangle / hexagram formed by scroll-work arms Latin mottos in the triangular arms (partially worn but consistent with Masonic moral maxims) A surrounding gilt ring with additional Latin inscriptions in relief A lower cartouche with further symbolic initials The aesthetic is consistent with early 20th-century British-produced esoteric regalia. Reverse Plain gilt reverse without hallmarking, typical for non-silver issue jewels of this type. The construction shows hand-cut and soldered elements, suggesting small-batch manufacture. Condition: Good overall. Ribbon lightly aged; gilding with moderate oxidisation; enamel intact; pin original and functional. No structural damage. Notes While the exact issuing order cannot be definitively attributed due to lack of inscription and hallmarking, the jewel clearly belongs to the symbolic/esoteric branch of British fraternal regalia, and pieces of this size and complexity are collectible.
