26th Degree Jewel

The jewel is an equilateral triangle, of gold bars, with a flaming heart of gold in the center. On the heart are the letters “I,” “H,” “S”‘ and on the respective sides of the triangle “W” on the right, “F” on the left, and “H” at the bottom. This jewel is suspended from a small collar of narrow, watered purple ribbon and hangs on the breast. The last three letters stand for wisdom, force and harmony; the first three are traditional Christian initials for Jesus Hominum Salvator (the letters “J” and “I” are interchangeable in Latin) but which may also be read as Sapientia, Imperium, Harmonia, Thus, their Masonic Meaning is the same meaning as the three upon the bars.
