First I want to say this is a very solid, well constructed ring, nice and heavy and the back is not hollowed out. Where it fails is in the seal itself. It's a Knight's Templar seal (actually, it combines a couple different periods) and the wording is supposed to be SIGILLIM MILITUM XPISTI (Seal of the Soldiers of Christ). I guess the maker couldn't be bothered to do some research because what they have on the ring is gibberish (SICHVH HILITIE TEHTLI). Even if you give them the CHV as GMU it's still jibber jabber. I think I'm going to have that drilled out and filled with gold. Or maybe silver and then have it engraved correctly (maybe IN HOC SIGNO VINCES or DEUS VULT). The sizing is very good - I wear a 10.5 and ordered an 11 and the ring is just slightly too big. Anyway, this is a 5 star quality ring with 2 stars subtracted for sloppy research, I like it okay but I don't love it.

The words surrounding the sheild are Mind ,heart,deeds,from Jerimiah 17:10 "I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind to reward each person according to what his ways and deeds deserve."
