"God created man in his own image"
—Genesis
I’m proud to present the Wisdom, Strength, & Beauty Collection, a continuation of our popular Corinthian Series that began in 2009. Each Jacquard-woven silk cravat and necktie is crafted from premium silk and features an original pattern designed by W. Bro. J. P. Gomez.
The foundation of the design is a network of Mediterranean acanthus leaves, a classical motif found on the capitals of Corinthian columns. At each node where the vines intersect, alternating symbols of the 47th Problem of Euclid (also known as the Pythagorean Theorem) are carefully placed.
Each symbol is flanked by two trowel tools pointing inward, with a circumpunct positioned between their handles. The surrounding diagonal spaces are filled with one of three working tools: the Plumb Rule, the Level, or the Square. Each tool is framed above and below by the Sprig of Acacia, symbolizing purity and eternal life.
The entire design is a tribute to the enduring Masonic pillars of Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty. Together, they reflect a life of balance. For wisdom without strength is powerless. Strength without beauty is brute. And beauty without wisdom is empty.
