This is a colorful enameled Eastern Star cuff bracelet. The small Eastern Star symbol measures .5 inch diameter. The bracelet and the emblem sits on open work gold plated metal. It opens easily by pulling it apart using a spring loaded middle, that is still functional. The bracelet is 2.5 inches across, fitting an average size female wrist.

The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850. Its appellation also implies a relationship with the planet Venus, also called the “eastern star.” Each point on the star has an emblem of a different biblical heroine (Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Electa) and the qualities they represent- fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith, and love.
