However, for simplicity in design, quality of work and sheer dignity - I think this example will take a lot of beating. Made in 1933 of heavy silver and then gilded , I suspect it must have been for a past Worshipful Master. The Lodge was in Johannesburg and was of the Scottish Order. I think one of the most attractive parts of the ornamentation are the Coat-of-Arms for South Africa. I have just had a thought from mentioning the location - the weight of the Jewel could well be solid gold - and not silver gilt. I will have to check. The name of the person it was given to, is shown on the reverse. Should anyone be able to look him up it would be interesting to know what he did - and his final Rank.
