A rare 9K gold Masonic orb pendant

The Masonic orb combines elements of intricate mechanisms, architectural mathematics, and mysticism. They are crafted from metals such as gold, sterling silver, and brass. The spherical shape symbolizes the "world." The most common structure features six interconnected pyramids, which can be unfolded into a cross shape, though star-shaped versions also exist. Highly skilled artisans engrave each face of the pyramids with textures and various symbols, such as the "Eye of Providence," "compasses," "carpenter's square," and "pentagram." In its early days, Freemasonry was a stonemasons' guild, and these symbols served to convey the meaning of Freemasonry to members who were not literate.
