Size guide
Find your ring size
Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
With a ring that fits (most accurate)
- Lay a ring you wear on that finger on the ruler and measure the inside diameter, edge to edge, in millimetres.
- Find that diameter in the table below.
With a strip of paper
- Wrap the strip around the base of your finger: it must still slide over the knuckle.
- Mark where it overlaps, lay it flat and measure it in millimetres: that is the circumference. Find it in the table below.
Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
The dark cross takes up the whole top of the ring, so it reads clearly from across a table. The band has an adjustable opening: widen or close it gently to move it from the ring finger to the index or the middle finger, wherever it feels right.
The polished stainless steel can stay on in the shower, at the gym and at work. It pairs well with a black or steel watch and dark clothes. Since no ring size is needed, it is an easy Father's Day gift for a dad, a brother or a friend who wants his faith seen.
Questions
What ring size do I need?
None. The ring has an adjustable opening, so it adapts to different finger sizes. Open or close it slowly, a little at a time.
Is it a men's ring?
Yes, it is designed for men, with a bold cross across the face. A woman who likes large rings can wear it too.
Is the cross black or silver?
The cross has a dark finish and sits on a polished steel band, so the two colors contrast.
Can I move The Darkened Cross from my index to my ring finger?
Yes. The adjustable opening lets it fit different fingers. The index or middle finger shows off the bold dark cross; the ring finger keeps it a little quieter.
Is it a good gift if I don't know his ring size?
Yes, that is the main reason people choose it. The opening adjusts on his finger, so you avoid guessing a size.
Can a non-Catholic wear this ring?
Yes. A plain cross with no figure of Christ is shared by Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox Christians.

Its meaning
A cross worn in plain sight
Writing to the Corinthians, Saint Paul admitted that the preaching of the cross looked like foolishness to many. He held to it anyway, calling it the power of God for those who are saved. A cross ring takes the same stance: it sits on the hand, in plain view, during handshakes and meetings. This one gives the cross the whole face of the ring, in a dark finish on a polished stainless steel band. The opening adjusts, so it fits different fingers and is easy to give without knowing a size.
Giving it as a gift
When you do not know his ring size, this is the safe Father's Day choice. It also suits a brother or a friend who wants his faith to be seen.
