Antique Edwardian 9ct Yellow Gold (And Silver) Masonic Orb
This charming antique Edwardian 9 carat yellow gold and silver Masonic orb is a true collector’s delight from the early 1900s.
These fascinating little pieces were once discreet symbols of Freemasonry, worn by members on watch chains or as pendants to quietly show their affiliation with the brotherhood.
Please note, chains are for display only unless otherwise stated.
Crafted in warm 9 carat yellow gold with the classic internal silver pyramids (a hallmark of authentic examples from this era), it closes neatly into a smooth, spherical orb just 1.57 cm across — perfectly sized for everyday wear as a pendant or charm bracelet.
When opened, it unfolds dramatically into a beautiful cross measuring a generous 4.2 cm drop by 2.5 cm wide, revealing six intricately engraved silver pyramids covered in traditional Masonic symbols.
The spherical shape represents the universe itself, while the opening symbolises the Freemason’s personal journey of discovery, growth, and moral insight — the hidden mysteries unfolding into knowledge.
At a substantial 7.39 grams, it has a lovely weight and presence that feels special the moment you hold it.
Whether you’re drawn to its rich Masonic history, its clever mechanical design, or simply its timeless antique charm, this orb is a wearable piece of history that never fails to spark conversation.
A genuine Edwardian treasure that’s as intriguing as it is beautiful!
