Masonic Jewelry

June is the graduation month for millions of college students around the nation, marking a special time in their lives as they join the work force.  Around graduation time, it’s common for relatives and friends to throw their support behind college students, providing them with gifts for the future as well as those that might help offset student loans.  While cash tends to be the preferred gift amongst graduating college students, for those who want to give a gift with a bit more meaning, there are a number of items to consider.  For example, a high quality watch can serve to commemorate time spent in college, and the future, and for this consider Masonic watches, representing both tradition and style.  Masonic watches celebrate brotherhood, and help college students look towards a bright future and their contributions to society.

You can find Masonic watches at most retailers of fine jewelry, and remember to err on the side of caution when choosing sizes.  If the size of the wristband is too larger, that’s much better than it being too small!

My travels this week took me to Tampa Florida and the surrounding area. I wish that I would have had a chance to visit with some of my brothers in the Tampa area but unfortunately did not have the time. Shown above is a picture of Lodge # 25 in Tampa Florida.The building was completed in 1928, and was designed by a group of architects who were themselves members of the Freemasonic Fraternity. They donated their design to the Lodge. It is reported that they used architectural elements from three different Italian cathedral buildings in designing this edifice.Hillsborough Lodge currently has the largest membership of any Lodge in the State of Florida, with over 1200 subscribing members.  This building is the fourth to house Hillsborough Lodge No. 25, F&AM, since it was founded in 1850. Members of Lodge # 24 wear Masonic Rings similar to those found at Fox Jewelry.

While some might believe a watch from a renowned manufacturer like Rolex might be the finest watch in the world, there’s a certain component of value associated with fine timepieces.  While it’s possible to spend thousands of dollars on a Rolex watch and receive a fine timepiece, it’s also possible to spend a fraction of that amount and receive a timepiece that runs just as well and looks great.  Caravelle watches, by Bulova, are some of the finest timepieces in the world when it comes to value.  While a Caravelle watch won’t be made of 14k gold and studded with precious stones, it does keep excellent time, looks sleek, and from anywhere except directly under the nose, it looks just like even the most expensive watch.  Caravelle watches are durable and designed to withstand the test of time.  The bands are adjustable and comfortable, and the timepieces are accurate to just a couple fractions of a second. 

There’s no better value than a Caravelle watch, and with so may different designs, it’s possible for everyone to find the perfect watch to suit their individual tastes.
