Medieval Knight's Shield Ring – Gold Cross on Sterling Silver

The moment you slide this ring onto your finger, you feel it—the substantial weight of 40 grams of solid sterling silver settling into place like armor ready for battle. The gold-plated cross catches light with every gesture, while the oxidized silver shield creates that perfect contrast that draws eyes from across the room. This isn't jewelry you simply wear; it's a statement piece that commands attention and sparks conversation.

For the Man Who Refuses to Blend In

Whether you're a motorcycle enthusiast whose hands grip handlebars daily, a musician who needs stage presence down to every detail, or simply someone who appreciates medieval symbolism and masterful craftsmanship—this ring speaks your language. The fleur-de-lis cross design sits proudly atop a warrior's shield, complete with intricate floral scrollwork along the band that you'll find yourself tracing with your thumb throughout the day.

Built for Daily Wear, Designed to Last Generations

I've worn this ring through work meetings, weekend rides, and everything in between. The 28.5mm by 31.7mm face is bold without being impractical—it clears doorframes and fits in pockets without snagging. The yellow gold plating on the cross maintains its warmth even after months of wear, while the .925 sterling silver develops a personal patina that makes each ring uniquely yours. The oxidized recesses deepen over time, enhancing the three-dimensional depth of the sword and shield motifs flanking the band.

Expert Handcraftsmanship You Can Feel

Run your finger across the raised cross and you'll notice the precision of each curved petal, the sharp definition where gold meets silver. The openwork design within the shield isn't just decorative—it reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity, a trick that only experienced silversmiths truly master. Inside the band, the 925 hallmark confirms authenticity, while the smooth interior ensures comfortable all-day wear without irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the gold plating wear off quickly?
Quality gold plating on sterling silver, when cared for properly, maintains its appearance for years. Avoid harsh chemicals and remove during heavy manual work. The natural oils from your skin actually help protect the finish over time.

How do I know my ring size for such a substantial piece?
For wide-band rings like this, we recommend ordering a half size larger than your standard ring size. The broader surface area requires slightly more room for comfortable fit and easy removal.

Is this ring suitable for everyday wear?
Absolutely. Sterling silver is durable enough for daily use, and the solid construction means no hollow sections that could dent or collapse. Many customers wear theirs continuously, only removing for activities involving chemicals or extreme impact.
