Comment le porter
The shield-shaped face is framed with fine detail, and the black and silver finish gives it an aged look from day one. It is a heavy-looking men's ring that looks right alone on the ring finger or the middle finger. Sizes run from US 8 to US 15; with a broad face like this, take the larger size if you hesitate.
The stainless steel can stay on in the shower, at the gym and on the job. It goes well with dark clothes, leather and a steel watch, and suits Father's Day or a confirmation for a young man who finds medals too light.
Questions
Does The Steadfast Shield come in sizes for very large hands?
Yes. It runs from US 8 to US 15; US 13 is about 69.7 mm of finger circumference and US 14 and 15 go larger, which covers most men's hands, big ones included.
Is it a Templar cross?
Yes, the product shows a Templar-style cross at the center of a shield. It is a Christian sign from the age of the military orders.
Is it a good gift for a man who never wears a necklace?
Yes. A ring with this much presence carries the cross on the hand instead, and it stays in view all day.
Why choose the cross on a shield of The Steadfast Shield for a young man's confirmation?
Because it recalls Saint Paul's shield of faith, a fitting image for the sacrament that strengthens the baptized. It suits a young man who would never wear a medal.
Can a non-Catholic wear a Templar cross ring?
Yes. The cross on a shield is a Christian sign shared by all traditions; wear it with respect for what it stands for.
Is a blessing required before wearing The Steadfast Shield Templar ring?
No. It arrives unblessed and can be worn as it is; if you wish, any priest can bless it, often after Mass.
My son's in the Air Force. He won't wear a necklace, says it gets in the way. He does have faith though, we talk about it. What else is there?
He sounds like someone who needs his faith to work the way his gear does: no fuss, always there. That is a fine way to believe. Saint Paul's shield of faith was built for exactly that man, held up against every attack, and a heavy ring is hard to forget about. The Steadfast Shield, is a cross on a shield, made for those who would never wear a necklace. Be sure he can wear a ring in his line of work, since some flight and maintenance jobs do not allow it. Then give it to him with no speech, just: 'I'm praying for you. Every day.' He knows you mean it.
The prayer
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 6:16, King James Version

Sa signification
The shield of faith
Writing from prison, Saint Paul pictured faith as a shield, the piece of armor that takes the blows aimed at the whole body (Ephesians 6:16).
Medieval knights carried their colors on their shields, and the military orders took the cross as their sign, the Templars a red cross on a white mantle. This ring brings those two images together. Its shield-shaped face carries a central cross framed with fine detail, in a black and silver finish that looks worn from the first day. It is a substantial ring for a man, in sizes US 8...
L'offrir en cadeau
A solid Father's Day pick, and a good choice for a confirmand who finds medals too light. It also suits a husband or brother who would never wear a necklace.
