Size guide
Find your ring size
Thuis meten in 2 minuten
U hebt een strook papier (of een touwtje of veter), een pen en een liniaal nodig.
Met een ring die past (het nauwkeurigst)
- Leg een ring die u aan die vinger draagt op de liniaal en meet de binnendiameter, van rand tot rand, in millimeters.
- Zoek die diameter op in de tabel hieronder.
Met een strook papier
- Leg de strook om de basis van uw vinger: hij moet nog over de knokkel kunnen schuiven.
- Markeer waar hij overlapt, leg hem plat en meet in millimeters: dat is de omtrek van uw vinger. Zoek die op in de tabel hieronder.
Meet aan het eind van de dag, wanneer uw vingers iets dikker zijn.
Geen liniaal? Een bankpas is 8,6 cm lang: tel hoe vaak hij langs uw strook past.

Zo draag je het
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.
Vragen
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.
Confirmation gift for an adult man
A man who goes to confirmation as an adult is not doing it to please his parents. He has decided, and a gift can treat it like the decision it is. The Enduring Mark is a signet with a plain cross, the ring once used to seal one's word, here sealed by the cross, US 7 to 13. If he has a devotion to the Heart of Jesus, the Sacred Heart Signet carries it, crowned with flames, US 7 to 15. Keep the message short, as he would: "I saw what this took."

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

De betekenis
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...
Om te geven
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.
