Why the EA and FC should not wear a Masonic ring.

[TRca]

If an Entered Apprentice is truly a “Mason,” then why can’t he wear a Masonic ring? Likewise for the Fellow Craft?

Dear TRca,

The simple answer to your question is that because those tools which placed on a Masonic ring are not EA or FCM tools, just as your member picture shows now. Another reason is that you are not a full member until you become a MM, so you should not wear a ring of an organisation which you are not a full member of.

Dear MASON.

Great explanation about the Masonic ring. You cleared up a lot of my questions.  Thanks for your explanation.

I would like to add some insight if I may...
People who observe you wearing a masonic ring will observe all your actions and judge masonry by your actions. As EA's and FC's have not yet been instructed in all aspects of masonry, they might or might not know what actions, conversations, etc. are appropriate. If approached and questioned about masonry, they might offer inaccurate information that might affect a reasonable person's views on the craft.

My humble opinion and two cents. Take it with a grain of salt
