The jewel of a Past High Priest (PHP) under the jurisdiction of the Grand Holy Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania is unique.

Most Grand Chapters use a PHP jewel featuring the Breastplate of Aaron.

The PA jewel consists of a golden triangle, suspended from a red ribbon, within which is a seven pointed star, or heptagram. Originally, the triangle was plain. But, later, symbols were added, commonly consisting of:

Eye of Providence
Mallet and Chisel
Tree of Acacia
Keystone
Pick, Axe, and Crow
A circle around an equilateral triangle and the Hebrew letter yod, the first letters of Jehovah in Hebrew (yod he vau he).
A Masonic Apron
Pot of Incense
Serpent and Rod
Altar
Ark of the Covenant
Slipper
