{"product_id":"platinum-diamond-synthetic-sapphire-shriners-sword-pendant-necklace","title":"Platinum Diamond \u0026 Synthetic Sapphire Shriners Sword Pendant Necklace — Reimagined from Vintage Tie Tac","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA sword tells a story before it tells anything else, and this one has told two: first as a Shriners tie tac, worn close to the heart in a fraternal order built on brotherhood, service, and ceremony; and now, reimagined, as a pendant meant to be seen and worn by anyone drawn to its history. This piece began its life in platinum, crafted for the lapel of an Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine member — the crossed scimitar being one of the order's most recognized emblems, tracing back to the Shriners' founding mythology and its ties to Middle Eastern-inspired Masonic ceremony. At Petra Star, that original tie tac has been given new life: fitted with a platinum chain and spring ring clasp, finished to a wearable 17 inches, and set free from the lapel to become a pendant with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blade itself is the piece's quiet showpiece — a \u003cstrong\u003es\u003c\/strong\u003eynthetic sapphire, expertly cut and channel-set to mimic the look of multiple stones running the length of the sword, catching light with a cool, saturated blue that reads as pure precision rather than excess. Along its edge, three round single-cut diamonds add a whisper of genuine sparkle at the hilt — small in size, but authentic in origin, the kind of detail that rewards a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFraternal jewelry occupies a particular place in American material history: pieces like this were never mass ornament. They were earned, worn with intention, and passed down as proof of belonging to something larger than any one life. A conversion like this one honors that history rather than erasing it — the tie tac's original form, purpose, and platinum construction remain fully intact and visible; only the wearing has changed. For a collector of fraternal and Masonic jewelry, a lover of Art Deco-adjacent conversions, or simply someone drawn to a piece with a genuine backstory, this pendant offers all three: precious metal, real diamonds, and a motif steeped in a century of American fraternal tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMeasurements: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e7.7 x 15.5 mm\u003cbr\u003eMetal: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlatinum including chain\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMarkings: PT950 on chain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWeight: 2 grams\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLength: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e17\" finished length with spring ring clasp\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePeriod: circa 1920\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eStyle: Art Deco\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePrimary Stone: Earth Mined Single Cut Diamonds 3=.03 cts H-I VS2-SI1 1.3mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSecondary Stone: Synthetic Sapphire\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51491874668858,"sku":"NK10096","price":760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/7398\/7898\/files\/art-deco-platinum-diamond-and-sapphire-necklace-7872029.jpg?v=1788268273","url":"https:\/\/petrastar.com\/ar\/products\/platinum-diamond-synthetic-sapphire-shriners-sword-pendant-necklace","provider":"Petra Star","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
