Antique 1920s 14K 14th degree Scottish Rite Masons ring with Latin inscription

A 14K gentleman's Scottish Rite ring about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The Scottish Rite is a branch of Freemasonry - a lateral continuation of study that allows Masons to continue their education beyond Master Mason. The Scottish Rite consists of degrees 4-32, with an honorary 33rd degree bestowed upon a very few (1-2%) of Masons. This ring honors the Mason who has attained the 14th degree and the design of the ring - which never varies - was formalized in 1882 to be a plain, flat band with an equilateral triangle and the Hebrew letter "yod." This is example is particularly interesting because of the detailed inscriptions inside, including the Latin "virtute conjuncti morte inseparabiles" which translates to "joined by virtue, inseparable by death." It also is engraved for the recipient, E.C. Kuhns, the location - Pittsburgh, PA - and the date, November 18th, 1924.
