Got a ring that was my Grandfather's

in #steemsilvergold5 years ago

Hi all.

My dear ole gran, almost 100 years young, gave me today her graduation ring from Arizona State University back in the 60's, and my grandpa's ring that was his father's. They had to cut it off his finger in the hospital. My grandpa passed away a few years ago.

These aren't getting scrapped, but I kinda want to get my grandpa's ring fixed, so I ask you, you People, the world, what is this ring? What is the symbology? Is it Golden Circle? Knights of Columbus? Freemasons? Or what? I just don't know. But it was my grandfather's father's ring, so it stays out of the melt pile. And I kinda want to repair it and wear it, but don't know what it symbolizes.

Any help is appreciated, as I just don't know what my great grandfather was in to.

Thanks for reading, my beautiful lovelies.

Peace

Its a good 100 years too old for that. But islamic, yes, my guess is masonic.

Which of the two rings is resizeable that you were able to interlock the two rings, fat-elvis? Rings are special, most often than not, always carries a special meaning and symbol for the wearer, meanings that are very personal and sometimes made-up. They are certainly valuable rings, my friend. Do you intend to wear them?

I don't intend to wear them. But I'll put them away in my safe. The one Ring was cut off of my grandfather in the hospital, so it's got an open loop.

I tend to hang on to my late father's and granparent's rings too. I think about how significant they represent to them, most mine are wedding rings, two are clearly birth stones, but none pertaining to religious or community organizations. So Can't help you with your rings. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Kerris. Yeah, I feel like stuff like this is the last part of the stack to get sold, I am leaning towards this being a well worn masonic ring, my great grandfather was a York rite mason, so it's likely the case

Very cool , I hope you get to the bottom of the mystery
