wearing a ring

**Jason** · 09-05-2007, 10:43 AM

Do you wear it with the Square pointing at your fingernail, or the Square pointing at you?

**BG_TRBL** · 09-07-2007, 08:13 AM

I wear mine with the square point toward me. With the letter "G" in the correct orientation. I wear it this way because of a portion of the Fellowcraft Masons degree. If you know the degree, then you know which part I am refering to.

It has been a long tradition in my lodge and has been passed down to me and i will pass it to every MM i raise when im in the east. we wear our rings with the compass points inward. So the G is right side up. This is becuase once a long while ago a master presented his friend and now brother with his ring and hoped that it would forever remind him of his final reception by the lodge during the first part of the MM degree

Wm...I like that. It's a great tradition and it's nice to know you plan to continue it further.

Heres what I was taught.

Facing down to remind me, facing up to remind you.

I wear mine with top of the Square facing down, ever to remind me

Sometimes, I will place the top of the Square facing up. It all depends on my mood

I wear it with the points of the compasses facing away from me . Purely for aesthetic purposes only . Supposed to be the other way till I'm a PM but my OCD will not let me(LOL) .
