What are Masonic Rings?

When in public, they wore the ring facing the palm of the hand in order to hide the crest. The Masonic rings have a design mostly of a square or compasses. By wearing this ring, the Free Mason follower is promising to live his life full of virtues and good deeds seeking the knowledge of life. He also promises to protect the teachings and beliefs of his community. Free Mason community though has different lodges with varying belief they all share a common goal. Hence the Masonic designs vary slightly but have the same square and compass theme.

It is interesting that the ring can be worn either way. I have a friend who is a Mason. He wears the ring facing him. Hopefully, whichever way it is worn, it helps the person remember their obligations. https://www.jpluther.com/swhat.inq?sdrop=MRDE&sprimary=MR&ssecondary=DE
