Not every secret wishes to stay hidden. This curious and captivating golden orb, seemingly a simple pendant at first glance, reveals its mystery only to those who know how to open it. Inside, six hinged pyramidal panels unfold like the petals of a mechanical flower, transforming into a cross etched with Masonic engravings: tools, stars, squares, and symbols of craft, secrecy, and tradition. Worn close to the heart, it would have whispered allegiance to a brotherhood, its meaning invisible to the uninitiated.

Crafted in 9 karat gold on silver and hallmarked “9CT,” this English Masonic orb measures 25.7 mm high and 19.9 mm wide when closed, opening to a full 54 mm height and 34.2 mm width when unfurled. It weighs 11.1 grams. The intricately engraved panels are articulated to fold smoothly inward, with the hinged dome securely locking the cross within.

Today, it offers its secrets to a new keeper; one who delights in hidden meanings, turning gears, and the quiet elegance of symbolic beauty.
