Along with the Freemasons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows are considered one of the oldest fraternal organizations in the world.
Created in a time where social services were non-existent, the Odd Fellows dedicated themselves to charity; helping the poor and the sick.
It is the aim of members to "to improve and elevate every person to a higher, nobler plane; to extend sympathy and aid to those in need, making their burdens lighter, relieving the darkness of despair; to war against vice in every form, and to be a great moral power and influence for the good of humanity."
The order is also known as the Triple Link Fraternity, referring to the organization's triple links symbol, which represents their motto: Friendship, Love and Truth.
This striking fraternal ring is crafted in 10k yellow gold and features a bloodstone shield with the triple links symbol in gold.
Bloodstone is the traditional birthstone for March and has come to symbolize bravery through its association with blood, vitality and the Roman god Mars.
This is truly a great piece for a current day Odd Fellow or Odd Fellows collector.
