<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 11166588, member: 649&quot;]AI says:</p><p><br /></p><p>The image shows a signet ring with a coat of arms and the Latin phrase &quot;PER HONOR VIRTUSQUE&quot;. This phrase translates to &quot;Through honor and virtue&quot; and is the motto of the Scottish clan MacMillan.</p><ul> <li>The coat of arms features a shield divided into three sections.</li> <li>The top two sections each contain a cross pattee, a type of cross with arms that are narrow at the center and wider at the ends.</li> <li>The middle two sections contain what appears to be a sheaf of wheat.</li> <li>The bottom section contains a larger cross pattee.&quot;</li> </ul><p>The London date letter appears to be a lowercase &quot;d&quot;? Perhaps for 2003. If so, the ring is fairly modern and that might help explain the larger size, people nowadays don&#039;t seem to wear pinkie rings like they used to.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>(Oddly, trying to search &quot;per honor virtusque&quot; and clan MacMillan doesn&#039;t appear to support the association...?
