Double-Headed Eagle Masonic Ring — .925 Sterling Silver Scottish Rite
SKU: 3766
The double-headed eagle faces both directions — two crowned heads on a single body, wings spread, a sword gripped in its talons. This is the Scottish Rite emblem in .925 sterling silver, sized at 17mm x 22mm (approximately 0.65" x 0.85") with floral engravings filling the shank. Thirteen grams keeps it light enough for daily wear. The oxidized finish darkens every groove, pushing the eagle and floral details into sharp relief against bright silver high points.
Built For
If you're a Scottish Rite Mason looking for silver over gold — most Masonic rings come in gold or gold-plated finishes. This one is solid sterling silver with oxidized contrast — a different look that pairs better with silver watches, bracelets, and casual wear. The symbolism is the same. The metal choice is yours.
If the floral shank detail matters to you — the shank isn't plain. Floral engravings run along both sides of the band, filling the space between the eagle face and the back of the ring. The flowers and scrollwork are carved in low relief with oxidized grooves, adding ornamental detail that gives the ring a vintage, lodge-ring character.
If lightweight rings are your preference — at 13 grams, this is the lightest eagle ring in the collection. The compact face and slim shank keep the mass down without sacrificing detail. You won't feel this ring shift on your finger during desk work, typing, or driving. It stays where you put it.
The Honest Take
The double-headed eagle is densely detailed for its size. Both heads are crowned, facing opposite directions, with individual feathers visible on the body and wings. The sword in the talons is a straight blade with a crossguard — small but identifiable. The Scottish Rite symbolism is concentrated into a compact face that reads clearly at arm's length to anyone who recognizes the emblem.
The floral engravings on the shank transition smoothly from the eagle wings into scrollwork patterns. The design feels continuous — the eagle and the flora share the same visual language of curves and relief. Under a desk lamp, the oxidized grooves create a lace-like pattern on the shanks that contrasts with the more structured eagle motif on the face.
Heads up: At 13 grams, this is a light ring. If you're used to heavier jewelry (20g+), this might feel insubstantial at first. The detail is there — the ring just doesn't announce itself through weight. If you want the same design with more heft, the brass version (same dimensions, same weight) has a different density that feels slightly different despite identical grams.
The oxidized finish is heavy on this ring — most of the surface reads dark, with only the highest relief points (crown tips, wing edges, floral peaks) showing bright silver. This gives the ring an antique quality, like something pulled from a lodge display case. Daily wear gradually brightens the most-touched areas while the protected recesses stay dark.

Before You Buy
Q: What does the double-headed eagle represent in Scottish Rite?
The double-headed eagle is the emblem of the Scottish Rite's 32nd degree — the highest degree commonly conferred. The two heads facing opposite directions represent the ability to see both sides of truth. The sword represents justice. The crowned heads signify authority. It's one of the most recognized Masonic symbols in the world.
Q: Is there a brass version of this ring?
Yes — the brass version has the same design, same dimensions, same 13 grams. The difference is material — brass gives a warmer, golden tone with a different aging character. Brass develops a green-brown patina over time. Silver develops a dark gray tarnish. Both are cleaned the same way.
Q: Do I need to be a Mason to wear this?
Anyone can wear it. There's no fraternal requirement for purchasing or wearing the design. However, the double-headed eagle is a strongly recognized Masonic emblem — wearing it will likely draw questions from Masons who see it. If you're a collector or history enthusiast, that's part of the appeal.
