ABOUT THE ITEM

This awesome vintage men's ring is an original Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) piece.  Since 1917, Kinsley & Sons have established themselves as premier manufacturers of Fraternal jewelry, and this ring is a perfect example of their beautiful work.


Crafted in solid 14 karat white gold, this size 12.25 gent's ring features a 1/4 carat natural diamond.  The ring also features Elks' symbolism done in blue enamel, including "BPOE" and a clock that reads 11 o'clock.


Why 11 o'clock?...


At every meeting of the BPOE, and every social function, when the hour of 11:00 p.m. tolls, the Lodge conducts a charming ceremonial known as the "Eleven O'clock Toast." In fact, the clock tolling the eleventh hour is part of the BPOE official emblem, and is directly behind the representation of an elk's head in the emblem of the Order.


The ring also has three-dimensional elk heads on both sides of the diamond, with the eyes of both elk embellished with red enamel.


Inside the ring shank is signed and stamped, "Kinsley & Sons GOTHIC14K".
