Thanks for the replies so far.
I was thinking of a step relative who normally wore a Masonic ring when I ask about the groups and other rings.
I rarely wear rings of any sort; I'm a potter.
Like I said, I know nothing.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Just a point of information, but North American masons tend to be a bit more "public" in terms of their membership, with a plethora of items (rings, embroidered jackets, ball caps, etc.) that denote their membership. Traditionally, masons in the Commonwealth tend to be more circumspect and only wear regalia at masonic meetings. In particular, masonic rings in the UK tend to be of this type:

This in general tends to support the whole "less is more" rule of dress. When a member attends a lodge meeting, he flips the ring to display the square and compasses.
