Antique 14K Gold Scottish Rites Masonic Mason's Plain Band Ring J. R. WOOD & SONS

Dates to after the Edwardian era, and just prior to the Art Deco era, circa 1918. Crafted in solid 14K yellow gold, and marked as such.

Also bears the mark of a sideways'W', which is the maker's mark of J. Wood & Sons of New York, NY. This wide plain band is deeply engraved in Latin with'VIRTUS JUNXIT MORS NON SEPARABIT, which translates to'Whom virtue unites, death shall not separate.

I can make out FJ SOMETHING... San Antonio TX" and the dates "Mar. I have photographed it the inner band, so perhaps you'll have better luck than I when deciphering the script. I know it is the name of the mason, the lodge in San Antonio, and the date the ring was given. The band measures 0.31 (8 mm) from top to bottom, and has a defined non-rounded edge (like an antique cigar band ring).

It weighs 4.9 grams and is a size 11. Condition is good, with regular wear on the outside. Inside is in great condition.
