Chapter, Council, and Commandery: the American York Rite.
For members of the Order of the Temple only. The Templar cross is not a general Masonic emblem and should not be worn before completing the Commandery degrees.
A Commandery pin for a Knight Templar. The 4.9 rating rests on fifteen reviews, which is a thin sample; treat it as promising rather than proven.
Plastic where the other Knights Templar emblem in this catalog is aluminum alloy — the finish will fade faster with sun exposure and washing. For Knights Templar members only.
York Rite Knights Templar pin; the Armor of God theme is specific to the Order. Not appropriate before receiving the Orders of Knighthood.
Aluminum alloy with an epoxy clear coat should outlast a vinyl decal on most exterior surfaces; the adhesive holds best on flat glass or painted metal. The emblem is for Knights Templar members — it is not decorative.
For Sir Knights; check your Commandery's dress requirements before ordering, as uniform colors and standards vary by jurisdiction.
For Sir Knights only. Commandery membership is a distinct step beyond the Royal Arch chapter. The 7/8-inch diameter keeps it lapel-sized and unobtrusive.
Commandery regalia — the Templar cross and seal are earned emblems, not Blue Lodge insignia. For Knights Templar members only.
The Templar seal belongs to Sir Knights; this is a Commandery piece, not a Blue Lodge one. Small format works well on a lapel or blazer pocket.
For Commandery members only. The Templar cross is an earned emblem and reads as such, not as a general Blue Lodge pin.
Aimed at those who hold or are about to hold office in a York Rite body, not at candidates still deciding whether to join. Thin review count for a specialized subject, but the rating holds.
Aimed at sitting officers and those moving up the chairs in Chapter, Council, or Commandery. Less useful as an introduction to the York Rite than as a working reference for those already in it.
The keystone is a Royal Arch symbol, not a general Blue Lodge one. This pin is for York Rite Masons who have received the Chapter degrees.
The altar motif has particular resonance in York Rite ritual, which makes this a more considered choice than a generic Square and Compasses pin. At one inch in antique brass, it sits cleanly on a lapel.
Synthetic holds up in humid storage better than genuine leather and costs less, but it will not age into anything; if you want an apron you are still carrying in thirty years, look at lambskin. Check your Lodge's apron specification before ordering — requirements vary.
The listing specs note the material as plastic; this is a gold-plated commemorative rather than a struck metal coin. Worth reading before buying it for someone who collects traditional challenge coins.
For Sir Knights only. The cross and crown emblem signals membership in the Orders of Knighthood conferred in a Commandery, and should only be displayed by those who have received them.
Check your Commandery's uniform requirements before ordering. Sword belt specifications vary by Grand Commandery, and hardware from an unspecified manufacturer may not pass dress inspection at larger gatherings.
For Sir Knights who carry a sword in Commandery work. Belt and uniform specifications vary by Commandery and jurisdiction, so confirm your requirements before ordering.
Gold plate wears at contact points over time, so this works as a starter ring or a daily backup rather than a piece you expect to last decades. Solid review base for the price tier.
Stainless steel cannot be resized after purchase — measure carefully before ordering. The Crusader cross styling leans casual, which suits daily wear but may look out of place in lodge.
