Per un papà, un padrino, o un giovane che ha preso San Benedetto come santo della cresima.

Size guide
Find your ring size
Misuri a casa in 2 minuti
Le serviranno una striscia di carta (o uno spago, un laccio), una penna e un righello.
Con un anello della misura giusta (il metodo più preciso)
- Appoggi sul righello un anello che porta a quel dito e misuri il diametro interno, da bordo a bordo, in millimetri.
- Trovi quel diametro nella tabella qui sotto.
Con una striscia di carta
- Avvolga la striscia alla base del dito: deve comunque passare sopra la nocca.
- Segni il punto di sovrapposizione, la stenda in piano e la misuri in millimetri: questa è la circonferenza del dito. La trovi nella tabella qui sotto.
Misuri a fine giornata, quando le dita sono leggermente più grandi.
Niente righello? Una carta bancaria è lunga 8,6 cm: conti quante ne entrano lungo la striscia.

Come indossarlo
The face is a broad 19 mm round signet, with an aged finish that keeps every letter of the Saint Benedict medal readable. On a man's hand it looks right on the ring finger, the middle finger or the little finger. Sizes run from US 7 to US 15; a 19 mm face covers more of the finger, so go one size up if you are between two.
The 316 titanium steel can stay on in the shower, at the gym and at work. Silver suits a steel watch, gold tone warmer jewelry. It is a strong gift for a father, a godfather or a confirmation.
Domande
Is the 19 mm Sacred Signet available in large sizes?
Yes, up to US 15. It starts at US 7 (about 54.4 mm of finger circumference); because the face is 19 mm wide, choose the larger size if you are between two.
What is 316 titanium steel?
A grade of stainless steel used for jewelry that is worn every day. It does not rust and stays bright with normal wear.
Is the Benedict medal on The Sacred Signet a talisman?
No. The Church treats the Saint Benedict medal as a sacramental, a sign of faith and a reminder to pray, not an object with power of its own. The letters on the ring form a short prayer against evil.
Who was Saint Benedict?
An Italian monk of the sixth century who wrote the Rule followed by Benedictine monasteries. He is the patron saint of Europe.
Is The Sacred Signet a fitting gift for a young man confirmed under the name Benedict?
Yes, it is a natural choice if he took Benedict as his confirmation saint. Check his size first, since the 19 mm face is broad.
How is it packaged?
Each ring comes in its own protective bag, ready to give.
My husband is a corrections officer. Maximum security. He comes home and doesn't talk. He's a man of faith, a Catholic, and I see it wearing on him year after year.
Nobody sees what he walks past each day, and he has decided you will not see it either. That silence is how he protects you, and it is lonely on both sides of the table. Saint Benedict's medal has long been worn as a plea against evil, which he of all people knows is not an abstraction. The Sacred Signet, carries that medal and its words, 'may the holy cross be my light,' for a father or a man with battles he never talks about. Check what his facility allows. Give it with: 'You don't have to tell me about it. Tell Him.' Then, on the hardest nights, just sit next to him.
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

Il suo significato
Every letter of the medal, on a ring
The reverse of the Saint Benedict medal is a puzzle of initials, and this signet reproduces it.
The letters CSSML and NDSMD on the cross abbreviate "May the holy cross be my light, let not the dragon be my guide." Around the edge, VRSNSMV and SMQLIVB begin with "Vade retro Satana," a rejection of temptation. Pope Benedict XIV approved the medal in 1742, and the Jubilee design of 1880 fixed the form most often seen today. At 19 mm wide, with an aged finish that brings out the lettering, the face leaves room for every...
Da regalare
