Size guide
Find your ring size
Mål hjemme på 2 minutter
Du skal bruge en papirstrimmel (eller en snor eller et snørebånd), en kuglepen og en lineal.
Med en ring, der passer (mest præcist)
- Læg en ring, du bærer på den finger, på linealen, og mål den indvendige diameter fra kant til kant i millimeter.
- Find den diameter i tabellen nedenfor.
Med en papirstrimmel
- Læg strimlen om roden af fingeren: den skal stadig kunne glide over knoen.
- Markér, hvor den overlapper, læg den fladt, og mål i millimeter: det er fingerens omkreds. Find den i tabellen nedenfor.
Mål sidst på dagen, når fingrene er en smule tykkere.
Ingen lineal? Et betalingskort er 8,6 cm langt: tæl, hvor mange der er plads til langs strimlen.

How to wear it
The ring face is 20 mm wide, a signet size that reads clearly on the hand. Signet rings are traditionally worn on the little finger, but the ring finger, middle finger or index all work. Order your usual size, or the larger one if you are between two sizes.
The polished stainless steel can stay on all day, in the shower and at the gym. Silver pairs well with a steel watch; the gold tone suits warmer metals. It weighs 14 g, so it feels solid without being bulky, and it makes a fitting confirmation or Father's Day gift.
Questions
What ring sizes does it come in?
US 7 to 12, which is about 54 to 67 mm in finger circumference (EU 54 to 67). Measure with a strip of paper, and if you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Can a non-Catholic wear a Saint Benedict ring?
Yes. The medal comes from the Catholic tradition, but its cross and its prayer against evil speak to any Christian. Wear it with respect for what it means.
What does PAX at the top of the Benedictine Ring mean?
Peace. Pax is the motto of the Benedictines, and on a ring worn every day it is a reminder to carry that peace with you.
Which side of the Saint Benedict medal does the Benedictine Ring show?
The back: the cross with the initials of its Latin prayers around it, cast on a 20 mm signet face. The figure of Saint Benedict, on the front of the medal, is not shown.
Will the gold Benedictine Ring wear on the palm side?
That is where any ring rubs most. Water will not hurt the stainless steel, but gripping weights or tools wears the gold finish faster; the silver version has no finish to wear.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 14 g, with a 20 mm face. It feels substantial on the hand, like a classic signet ring.
The prayer
Crux sacra sit mihi lux. Non draco sit mihi dux. (May the holy cross be my light. Let not the dragon be my guide.)
Latin verses on the Saint Benedict medal, found in a 1415 manuscript at Metten Abbey, Bavaria

Dens betydning
PAX, the word above the cross
The back of the Saint Benedict medal is crowded with letters. On the arms of the cross, CSSML and NDSMD stand for a Latin verse: may the holy cross be my light, let not the dragon be my guide. Around the edge, VRSNSMV and SMQLIVB form a short rejection of temptation. Above it all sits a single word, PAX, peace, long a motto of the Benedictines. Catholics wear the medal to ask for God's help against evil. On this ring the whole design moves from the neck to the hand, in polished silver or gold...
Som gave
Good for a husband on Father's Day, or for a confirmand who has chosen Saint Benedict as patron. Because it stays on the finger, it suits anyone who has to take necklaces off for work.
