Compass and Square Earrings

Perhaps the best-known of all Masonic symbols is the compass and square, shown interlocked with the letter “G” between them, as the traditional emblems of Freemasonry. During the granting of the First, Second, and Third Degrees, the compass and square are placed upon the altar of the Temple in an interlinked fashion, representing the divine Light as it unites with the candidate and fills him with increasing knowledge. At the same time, this leads to his “rebirth” as its resurrected “offspring”.
