Scottish Rite Master Sash – Turquoise Moire Three Stars Red Trim

Description

Scottish Rite Master Sash – Turquoise Moire Three Stars Red Trim

Scottish Rite Master Sash in turquoise moire ribbon cuts across the chest with the diagonal authority that AASR officer dress has carried through generations of formal degree work. Turquoise is not a color that fades into the background of a Lodge room — it announces the wearer’s station clearly, the bright face of the moire ribbon shifting between blue and green as the brother moves through procession and takes his position for the degree ceremony. Against that turquoise, the red trim borders running along both long edges of the 11-centimeter ribbon frame the sash with a sharp contrast that reads with precision from across the chapter room.

Three gold five-pointed stars sit spaced along the face of the turquoise body, their placement following the formal AASR decoration standard for the Master Sash grade. Near the sash body, a black background patch carries a skull and crossbones emblem in white and silver, a Masonic memento mori symbol that connects this sash to the deeper degree teachings of the Scottish Rite. At one end, a gold embroidered Square and Compass anchors the sash with the foundational Craft symbol, while a red circular rosette finishes the opposite end with a formal dress accent that holds its shape and color through repeated ceremony use.

Moire ribbon produces its characteristic watermark pattern through a mechanical pressing process that creates a subtle ripple across the fabric surface — a texture visible in movement and under direct light that plain satin or grosgrain cannot replicate. At 11 centimeters wide, this sash sits at the correct officer proportion for AASR formal wear, wide enough to display all three stars clearly without overwhelming the apron or collar worn beneath it during full-dress degree conferral.

Black lining runs the full reverse of the sash, protecting the turquoise moire face from body contact and giving the piece a finished interior that holds its drape cleanly when worn diagonally from shoulder to hip. A complete color shade guarantee covers all elements — turquoise ribbon, red trim, gold stars, and rosette — ensuring every component reads as part of a single unified ceremonial piece rather than mismatched individual parts.

For brothers of the Scottish Rite who carry the Master Sash through formal degree evenings and special convocations, this sash delivers the visual standard the AASR expects without compromise. The red trim border holds its edge definition through repeated wearing and folding across a full Lodge season.

Spaced along the sash face at the decoration standard for the Master Sash grade, each star sits flush against the turquoise ground and holds its gold finish through repeated ceremony wear.

Skull and crossbones emblem on black background patch

Positioned on the sash body as a traditional Masonic memento mori symbol, rendered in white and silver against its black ground and connected to the degree teachings of the Scottish Rite.
