32nd Degree Masonic ring with 12 diamonds.
Well, just when you think you will never find another piece of jewelry, up pops one. From a site I have hunted on and off for the past few months. An old Victorian home still in the original family. I have found recent coins, nothing real old as far as that goes. A silver Mexican coin. An old lions head drawer pull. A small silver cross and some odds and ends. I gave them all to the owner of the home. Several years ago I found a 10k gold Southern Pacific railroad Ring near an old abandoned station. I posted that find a month or so ago. Never thought I would find another ring even half as nice. When I went to the home yesterday, the owner told me where the horses were hitched when people came to visit in the early 1900's. So thats were I decided to hunt. About fifteen minutes into the searching, the old Ace 250 said dig and up came this little baby. Twelve diamonds and probably 14K white gold. (haven tested yet)..I offered it to the owner of the house and he said No, you keep something. Well after about six months my 250 is paid for. No matter how often you find a nice item of jewelry you never get over the excitement of the find. one side has 32 and S on it and the other has a sword. The two eagles are worn, but the diamonds are all still solid in their mounts. I would guess its from the 1920's.

Great find. It looks old for sure. I have found two gold Mason rings
but they were newer and nothing like this beauty! Congrats!

Owner of property was not a Mason nor was anyone in his past family. Someone just lost it in the spot I found it.
I had not kept any of my previous finds so it was my turn to keep something according to him. He is a good friend.

Beautiful ring! And you are to be commended for offering it to the landowner (but thank goodness he told you to keep it!!).

That's awesome dg! I have quite a few Masonic relics and there are keen collectors out there of vintage Masonic items. If your ever interested in selling that please let me know!
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

Re: 32nd Degree Masonic ring with 12 diamonds.
Are there any initials anywhere on the ring? After all, there haven't been too many 32nd degree masons around, have there? Could it be older than the 1920s?
Thanks,
