So far we've had great feed back on the Revere Jewels, people really like the detail and also the classic composition. There have been debates on whether this is a Past Master's jewel or not, some Past Masters are wearing it as one, but our worshipful Grand Lecturer had a look at it while attending our California Grand Lodge meeting in 2009, and mentioned as it is not an official Past Master's Jewel, it can be worn by any Master Mason as a decorative jewel.
I thought that was interesting, and really am focused on the historical value of the jewel as a gift from Bro. Revere to Bro. Washington, and also the period correctness of the design.
Interestingly enough, this jewel in silver is featured on a watch fob chain of a very nice fellow who portrays Benjamin Franklin for re-enactments and television. In fact, the jewel can be seen on the Discovery Channel special "Hunting the Lost Symbol" and it is in at least three scenes with him that I could discern.
