Answer: belonging.

Explanation: The excerpt describes a man that is well positioned in society, maybe his family too, because he has several rings, the heavy seal could be his family seal. He also has a gold watch chain, but the insignia is a symbol that demonstrate that he is a member of the Order of Elks, that's why the answer is "belonging".
