The document outlines the specifications for the jewels worn by Past Metropolitan, Provincial, and District Grand Officers in Freemasonry. A Past Provincial or District Grand Officer wears a blue enamelled oval medal featuring the emblem of their office and the name of the Province or District. In contrast, Past Provincial or District Grand Stewards wear a crimson enamelled version. Past Metropolitan Grand Officers, except for those appointed as Metropolitan Grand Stewards after 31 December 2021, may wear a specific jewel described in Plate No. 26b. Past Metropolitan Grand Stewards wear a jewel similar to that of Past Provincial or District Grand Stewards until promoted to Metropolitan Grand Rank. Additionally, Past Deputy or Assistant Metropolitan, Provincial, or District Grand Masters, as well as Past Metropolitan Grand Inspectors, may wear their jewels suspended from a garter blue collarette, 1¼ inches wide, edged with gold cord. Notably, those who held the rank of Past Metropolitan Group Chairman before 14 March 2007 are regarded as Past Assistant Metropolitan Grand Masters for this purpose.
