Vintage Masonic 14K White Gold and Diamond Ring

This is a vintage Men's Masonic ring, likely crafted from 14K white gold based on its luster and period styling. The central feature is a primary round-cut diamond, estimated at approximately 0.15 to 0.25 carats, securely set within a raised, square illusion-style head that maximizes the stone's brilliance. The shoulders of the ring are intricately decorated with fraternal symbolism; one side clearly displays the Masonic Square and Compasses emblem against a black enamel (niello) background, while the opposite side features remnants of red and yellow enamel, possibly representing related appendant bodies like the Shriners or Scottish Rite. The construction shows high-quality die-struck or cast detailing with pierce-work on the side galleries. Regarding condition, there is visible wear to the enamel icons, particularly the yellow and red sections, and general surface scuffing and minor rounding of the crisp edges, indicative of frequent wear. The metal appears to be white gold or perhaps platinum, though the yellowish tint in some crevices suggests unplated white gold. The style is consistent with the Art Deco or Mid-Century period (circa 1930s-1950s). There are no maker's marks visible from this angle, but the craftsmanship suggests a professional Masonic jeweler of the era.
