Shown in inches and US sizesHow to measure
Wrap a strip of paper around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps and measure it in mm: that is the circumference. Or measure the inside diameter of a ring that already fits you.

Half sizes sit halfway between two rows (about 0.4 mm of diameter).
Good to know: measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger. Wide bands (8 mm and more) feel tighter: if you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
A bear paw on an eight-sided face, knot work down both sides.
Atlas carried the world on his back and kept his eyes forward. A signet ring is the same kind of quiet weight. This one is stainless steel with an octagonal face bearing a bear paw emblem wrapped in a Celtic knot, the mark linked in Slavic folklore with Veles. More knot work runs down the shoulders, and the recesses are darkened so the pattern reads clearly. US sizes 9 to 13.

Details & specs
The face is an eight-sided signet, flat and broad, with a bear paw at the center surrounded by Celtic knot work. In old Slavic folklore the bear paw is the mark of Veles, and today it reads as a symbol of strength and the wild. The shoulders carry more knot pattern, so the design continues as the ring turns on the finger.
It is made of stainless steel in its natural silver color, with the recessed lines darkened for an aged, oxidized look that makes every detail stand out. Stainless steel does not rust, so the ring can stay on through the shower, the gym and the beach. It comes as the ring alone, ready to wear.
How to wear it
A signet sits best on the little finger or the ring finger of either hand. With a bear paw and knot work, this ring suits rugged clothes: flannel, leather, denim, a wool coat. Pair it with a darkened or plain steel chain and keep other rings simple, such as a plain band, so the face stays the center of attention.
Choosing your size
Sizes are US 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. A signet ring has a broad face, so it wears a little tighter than a thin band: if he is between sizes, go up. To find his size, borrow a ring he already wears on the same finger, or wrap a strip of paper around the base of the finger and compare it with a ring size chart. The little finger usually takes a smaller size than the ring finger.

Questions
Can I wear it in the shower, at the gym or at the beach?
Yes. The ring is stainless steel, so water and sweat will not make it rust. The darkened recesses are part of the design; a soft cloth is all it needs.
What does the bear paw stand for?
In Slavic folklore the bear paw is the mark of Veles, and many men wear it as a symbol of strength and the wild. On this ring it is a design, framed by Celtic knot work.
Which finger should it go on?
Signets are traditionally worn on the little finger, but the ring finger or middle finger work just as well. Measure the finger you choose, since sizes differ from one finger to the next.
