Engraving says…. “virtus junxit mors non separabit”, which translates from the Latin to English as; “Whom virtue unites, death will not separate”
Photographing this awesome ring, this is what I found out about it so far!
A mason is known to protect his community, he is a preacher, a follower and also a protector of a secret society in which he believes. A person, who is not a mason, is not allowed to wear this ring. These are generally found in the fingers of many people, ranging from visionaries to celebrities. Nowadays wearing a masonic ring has just become a fashion more than a tradition. It is also a secret that how the antique masonic ringswas discovered and when the tradition of wearing it was started.Antique masonic rings Antique or vintage are those rings which the masons used to wear.Antique masonic rings have a design of a square and a compass on its crest.

I have 2 of these double headed eagle rings, one has a diamond in the middle of the eagle. Both have inscription “virtus junxit mors non…etc.” both gold. The one without the diamond also has a incription that says it was “presented in 1917”. 2 things, presented in 1917, could that be true? What do you think these rings might be worth?
