The Grand Master’s Vow: Knights Templar Latin Motto Signet Ring

Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam. Not unto us, Lord, not unto us, but to your name give the glory. That line, more than any battle, defined how the Knights Templar wanted to be remembered: not as conquerors, but as instruments.

This signet ring carries the motto in full around a central Cross Pattee, flanked by two crossed swords, across a substantial 25mm face.

The ring

The inscription runs in deep relief around the border, legible rather than decorative, with the Cross Pattee and swords raised at the centre. The shoulders of the band carry the Templar shield, continuing the design around the whole piece rather than stopping at the face.

Cast in stainless steel and available in a classic polished steel finish or a two-tone gold and silver finish.

For anyone with a serious interest in the Crusades, the military orders, or the history behind the motto itself, this ring is a considered piece rather than a passing novelty.
