Design & Symbolism:

At the centre of this beautifully crafted jewel is the French motto:

👉 “Nous l’avons trouvée” (“We have found it”)

This declaration lies at the very heart of the Royal Arch, symbolising the rediscovery of sacred truth, the completion of the Companion’s journey, and the illumination gained through perseverance. For a Principal, it represents not only personal attainment but also the responsibility to lead others toward that same revelation.

The French inscription adds a distinctive and sophisticated touch, reflecting continental Masonic influence and a refined aesthetic. The overall design captures themes of restoration, unity, and divine enlightenment, presented in a balanced and elegant French style.
