Scottish Rite 1918 Solid-Back Gold Ring

by Lyetta Tofanelli
(Massachusetts)

Hello.

I was given a family ring recently. It is Scottish Rite w/ rose cross and a St. Andrew's cross in enamel - the double eagle is raised.

Inside it is inscribed with my relative's name, a Latin phrase, and the date 1918.


Simon:

Hi Lyetta,

If you have a photo of this family heirloom, I'm sure others would like to see what it looks like.

It's very easy. Just snap your photo, save it anywhere in your computer (Desktop, My documents, etc.) and then come back to this page
(the easiest way is to perform a Google search for the page's title: "Scottish Rite 1918 Solid-Back Gold Ring" and when you arrive back to this page, just click the Browse button and it will upload it to this page.

What is the Latin phrase that you describe?

Thanks!

Simon

"VIRTUS JUNXIT MORS SEPARABIT"

Thanks, Simon




Simon's Reply:

Like a wedding ring, the circular shape of the ring symbolizes unending commitment and loyalty.

Traditionally the inside of the ring bears the inscription "virtus junxit mors non separabit", which translates from Latin to English as:
"Whom virtue unites, death will not separate."
