Ring size guide

Payment methods:

A raised silver cross sits at the centre of the front face, and four smooth leaf-shaped panels curve around it — their tips meeting to the left and right of the cross like a pair of open wings. Behind them the silver is darkened, so every raised strand reads from across a room. This Celtic cross band ring is .925 sterling silver, 13mm wide, with the pattern cut in relief rather than engraved into the surface.

Wear This If

If you want a Celtic cross without the circle — This is a plain cross, not a ringed one. The nimbus — the circle that wraps the arms on most Celtic crosses — is absent here, so the shape reads as a cross framed by scrollwork instead. Less immediately Irish at a glance, and quieter with a shirt cuff.

If you wear one ring every day — The raised strands are rounded and stand proud of a darkened ground. Daily wear polishes the high points brighter while the recesses stay dark, so the cross gets easier to read over months rather than wearing flat.

If you like detail that only shows up close — At arm's length this reads as a wide silver band with a cross on it. Up close the leaf panels, the scroll curls at the shoulders and the twin rails running back along the sides separate out into three different textures.

Living With This Ring

The recesses collect a natural darkening over weeks of wear. Oxidation settles into the low points between the raised strands, and after a month the cross and the leaf panels polish brighter while the ground behind them stays dark. The contrast deepens instead of fading.

Thirteen grams across a 13mm band. The decoration covers the front face and the shoulders; behind them the band narrows into two raised rails and then flattens into a plain polished stretch at the back. That plain section is the comfortable part — nothing textured sits against your palm when you close your hand.

It has a front, and that is worth knowing before you buy. If the ring turns on your finger the cross ends up facing sideways and you will want to straighten it. A band this wide shifts less than a thin one, but it does shift.

What's Inside

⚙️ Material Solid .925 sterling silver — hallmark stamped inside the band, sterling all the way through.

📏 Band Width 13mm (about 0.51") across the front face. The band narrows as it runs toward the back.

⚖️ Weight 13 grams — mid-weight for a sterling band, noticeable but not heavy enough to slow your hand.

💎 Design A raised plain cross framed by four leaf-shaped panels, with scroll curls at the shoulders — cut in relief, not engraved.

🌡️ Finish Polished high points with oxidized recesses. The darkened ground is what makes the cross stand out — no paint, no enamel.

🛡️ Construction Handmade — individually cast, polished and finished, so the depth of the darkening varies slightly between pieces.

Good Questions

Q: Does the pattern run all the way around the band?

No. The cross and the four leaf panels sit on the front face, and the scroll curls carry the design onto the shoulders. Behind that the band narrows into two raised rails and then flattens into a plain polished stretch at the back, which is what keeps it comfortable against your palm.

Q: How is this different from the shield-face Celtic cross ring?

The shield version raises a ringed cross on a defined 14mm x 15mm shield-shaped face. This one carries a plain cross with no circle around the arms, framed by leaf panels on a 13mm band. Both are 13 grams of .925 sterling silver, but the shield reads bolder from a distance.

Q: Why do some Celtic crosses have a circle and this one doesn't?

That circle is called the nimbus, and it appears on Irish stone high crosses from roughly 750 to 800 AD. Scholars read it as a halo, as a structural brace for heavy stone arms, or as both at once. This ring uses the plain cross form, so the scrollwork carries the Celtic reference instead.

Q: Will the raised pattern catch on knitwear or gloves?

The raised strands are rounded rather than sharp-edged, so they do not snag. The deepest point of the pattern is the darkened ground behind the cross, and the steps between high and low are smooth. You feel the texture under a thumb, but it does not grab fabric.

Leaf Panels + Scroll Curls	Frame the cross on the front face and carry the design onto the shoulders.
Plain Polished Back	The rear of the band is smooth, so nothing textured sits against your palm.
