The Scottish Rite Fourteenth degree ring is a flat, plain band of
gold, and embossed thereon is a plate in the form of an equilateral
triangle and within the triangle is the Hebrew letter yud, the initial letters of Jehovah in Hebrew (yud he vau he). Inside the ring is inscribed the Fourteenth Degree Motto: Virtus Junxit, Mors Non Separabit
(Virtue has united and death shall not separate). The rings circle
expresses the unbreakable fraternal bond between Masons of all
generations. Upon the death of the owner, the ring should go into the
hands of his widow, eldest son, the friend who was loved above all
others, or another Scottish Rite Mason.
