Scottish Rite Rings

As a part of the Masonic organization, the Scottish Rite lets Master Masons continue their education through the first three degrees. The Scottish Rite is comprised of the 4th to 32nd degrees, which are used to show seniority and dedication to masonry. There are several different degrees, and the systems vary in Europe and the United States, which makes the system somewhat confusing.Contrary to popular belief, the Scottish Rite—and freemasonry in general—is not a secret society and is actually quite open to the public. Men are free to become members, but it requires active engagement on the part of the individual. Members tend to show their affiliation to the group through Scottish Rite rings and other fraternal jewelry.
