Square and Compass Freemasonry Symbols Adjustable Open Ring

The Freemasonry symbol that is most easily recognized worldwide is the Square and Compass. It is uncertain where the sign for a square and compasses, or more precisely, a square and a pair of compasses connected, first appeared. According to several interpretations, the full square and set of compasses symbolize a synthesis of judgment, equilibrium, and stability. The sign, which depicts an architect's tool and is derived from Stonemasons' working implements, is supposed to serve as a metaphor for how Freemasonry's teachings assist its members in 'constructing' themselves into better men.
