Maker: (Hallmarked Birmingham) Hallmarked Sterling Silver (Birmingham, 1916–17) A scarce and appealing Royal Masonic Institution for Girls (RMIG) Festival Jewel dated 1917, produced during the final years of the First World War. Crafted in sterling silver with enamel highlights and suspended from its original cream-and-blue ribbon, this early festival star displays a bold and distinctive wartime design. The jewel takes the form of a radiating five-pointed star, centred by a circular medallion bearing a portrait of King George V, finely struck in relief. Surrounding the portrait is a deep blue enamel ring inscribed: R.M.I. GIRLS FESTIVAL – 1917 The contrast between the darkened silver rays and the enamelled medallion creates a striking visual depth characteristic of RMIG’s early 20th-century festival issues. Reverse The reverse shows a circular plaque struck with full British silver hallmarks, confirming: Sterling silver (lion passant) Birmingham assay (anchor mark) Date-letter for 1916–17 Maker’s mark (clearly impressed) The original pin-back suspension fitting remains present, exhibiting natural oxidation consistent with age. Condition: Fine. Ribbon with pronounced creasing and wear at folds; enamel ring intact with good colour; portrait medallion with light toning; silver star showing attractive age patina; reverse hallmarks sharp; suspension secure. A desirable and historical First World War-era RMIG Festival Jewel, valued both for its early date and its portrait medallion of George V.
