Description from the seller

Silver Tone / Blue - early 20th century Masonic Cufflinks


In Freemasonry, blue is the foundational color of the "Ancient Craft" or the first three foundational degrees: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. It symbolizes universal friendship, benevolence, and the vault of heaven, reminding Masons that their virtues should be as boundless as the sky
***Fun Facts about Blue Colour and symbolising:

*The Canopy of Heaven: Because the lodge is metaphorically covered by the "starry-decked heaven," blue reflects the boundless dome of the sky, demonstrating that a Mason's charity should embrace the entire world.
*Truth & Immortality: Across many ancient civilizations—including the Egyptians, Druids, and early biblical traditions—blue was used to denote eternity, immortality, and fidelity.
*Beneficence & Charity: In various rites, including the Royal Arch, blue serves as an emblem of continuous charity and spiritual transcendenceThey are designed for Lodge investitures, dinners, and formal functions and are usually sold in sets of four.

The studs have been worn by myself and my ancestors on several official Masonic occasions. I have accumulated many pairs and it’s time to find a new home for this particular pair.
