Officers Jewels
Every officer in the lodge is invested with a collar and jewel by the incoming Worshipful Master during his installation ceremony. The collar is light blue, the colour of craft masonry, the “light blues”, to which is appended the jewel of the office.
Below you will see all the Officers Jewels in order of “seniority” – with the exception of the Past Master who is not strictly an officer of the Lodge, and his jewel is the only jewel that is worn as a matter of right, all other officers are either elected by the Lodge members or appointed by the Worshipful Master.
