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 inches.
- 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 inches: 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 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
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.
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

Its meaning
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...
Giving it as a gift
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.
