When worn during special gatherings or on a daily basis, these regalia may indicate which degree, lodge, station, order or office a freemason belongs to. Some of the masonic regalia owned by the lodge and some are personally owned.

Masonic Accessories for Daily Purpose

In the market and over the internet, subtler and smaller Masonic regalia pieces such as watches, pendants, badges, bookmarks, and ties are available. These are not only best for daily use but perfect as a gifting option. There are even products available that are meant for the ladies who are associated with this Freemasonry organization and these include key chains, purse holders, scarves and many more. Generally, masonic jewelry pieces indicate their logo which is acknowledged in the entire world. This helps the members of the organization to recognize other members and welcome them with honor and respect.

Distinct Regalia

Nowadays, one of the demanding forms of Masonic regalia is cufflinks. These are small and most recognized pieces of accessories used to enhance the appearance of cuffs while bearing the recognized logos and symbols of Freemasonry. These are available in varied size, shapes, and colors and provide an elegant and distinctive look. These Masonic cufflinks are designed in a very precise and detailed manner to capture the respected, recognized and famous Masonic logo.

However, Masonic cufflinks and ties are subtle but these are symbolic reminders to indicate the inclusion of the members in this honorable organization. They can be worn either daily or can be gifted to the dedicated members of Freemasonry. When recognized by members who are unknown with other members, these lodge regalia closes the gap and creates a bond between the members who value disciplines and believe in the same principles.
