The Masonic Knights Templar Past Preceptor Jewel, Obverse.
The Masonic Knight Templar Past Preceptor Jewel holds a distinguished significance within the Knights Templar, a chivalric order within Freemasonry. As a mark of honor and recognition, this emblem is bestowed upon those who have served with dedication and distinction as Preceptors within the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar, formally known as The United Religious, Military, and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes, and Malta, is a fraternal organization associated with Freemasonry. Membership in the Knights Templar and several other Masonic Orders is restricted to Freemasons who profess faith in Christianity. As part of their obligations upon entry into the order, individuals are required to pledge to safeguard and uphold the Christian faith.
For those who have served as Preceptors within the Knights Templar, the Past Preceptor jewel serves as a tangible reminder of their commitment to the principles of the order and their contributions to its mission.
The jewel is shaped like a Maltese Cross, the symbol of the Order of Malta.
The emblem incorporates white, black, and red hard enamel to highlight a crimson preceptor’s cross encircled by a black ring and white enamel. This enamel arrangement is enhanced by gold plating.
