Sterling silver and bloodstone Masonic fob pendant

This Masonic fob pendant dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring the iconic Square and Compass symbol of Freemasonry set against a bloodstone background. The piece combines sterling silver with gilt accents and decorative scroll work at the top, typical of Victorian and Edwardian Masonic jewelry. Masonic fobs like this were popular accessories for pocket watch chains (albert chains) and were worn by Freemasons as symbols of their membership and rank within the organization. These items are highly valued by Masonic memorabilia collectors and those interested in fraternal organizations for their craftsmanship, symbolism, and connection to the secretive history of Freemasonry.
