Regulation 86 outlines the specifications for the jewels of office worn by Grand Officers, both present and past, within the Royal Arch. The jewels for the Three Grand Principals and Grand Superintendents are detailed in Plates Nos. 1 to 4, and may be worn on a tri-coloured collarette alongside Craft regalia. Other Grand Chapter officers wear jewels featuring an emblem of office superimposed on a triangle, set within a double circle adorned with laurel branches, with a maximum diameter of three inches (Plates Nos. 6 to 23). For Past Grand Superintendents, the jewel consists of their former office emblem within a double circle that includes a plate with the relevant Province or District name. Past Grand Officers wear a jewel with their office emblem on a triangle, also within a double circle, featuring a plate inscribed with 'Supreme Grand Chapter', not exceeding two inches in diameter (Plate No. 24). These guidelines ensure uniformity and recognition of rank within the organization.
