Antique 14k Yellow Gold Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Charm

This pendant crafted in 14k yellow gold representing the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.), featuring detailed enamel work and an elk’s tooth drop. The pendant displays the Elk’s Lodge emblem with a finely modeled elk head set with red glass eyes, framed by blue enamel with the letters “B.P.O.E.” across the lower banner.

Above the elk head is the traditional lodge clock motif rendered in enamel, symbolizing the “eleventh hour toast,” an important ceremonial element within the Elks organization. The piece is further accented with multicolor enamel details and decorative scrollwork characteristic of early fraternal jewelry. Suspended from the base is a polished elk’s tooth drop, a traditional element of Elk’s Lodge jewelry historically associated with members and commemorative lodge pieces. A distinctive piece of early 20th century fraternal jewelry combining symbolic design, colorful enamel craftsmanship, and classic Elk’s Lodge iconography.
