I have recently been given these two sterling silver jewels and am curious as to their significations. If any Brother can provide information I would appreciate it.

RAM Jewell. This is clearly a Royal Arc Mariners jewel, but what does it signify?
As I am not (yet?) a member of this order please don't send any spoilers!

RMBI Jewell. This is clearly a Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution jewel, but what does it signify and why was it issued?
It has a pin on the reverse to enable it to be worn as a brooch.
