These are a gorgeous pair of Masonic Gold Coin Style Cufflinks featuring the famous “Point within the Circle” motif.
The Masonic symbology, including the famous “Point within the Circle” motif on these cufflinks, has come down to us from the cuneiform scripts of the ancient Sumerians, circa 3000 B.C. and the symbol itself closely resemble an Egyptian hieroglyphic.
The symbol got it’s Masonic meaning during the Middle Ages. At that time most of the population, were illiterate or had only a rudimentary ability to write. This was usually only enough to enable them to sign their names or read simple words.
Freemasonry itself began with the operative stone masons during the Middle Ages and the symbols were used, not through secrecy, but through the general illiteracy of the populace at the time. Since very few could read, especially those in trades, symbols were used to convey the messages of the Freemasons.
These symbols make a great motif for a set of cufflinks and as a way of communicating your Freemason status.
