Medical Rings

The Star of Life is the symbol of emergency medical services. Its six arms stand for the six steps of EMS care: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit and transfer to definitive care. At its center is the Rod of Asclepius, the staff and serpent of medicine.

Our men's EMT and paramedic rings are made in New York City, USA, and carry the Star of Life, with designs that read "PARAMEDIC" or "EMT" for the role you serve in.

Every medical ring we make is solid back. Choose from:

• Signet rings feature a flat or slightly domed face (bezel) engraved with a family crest, monogram or personal symbol.
• Class rings look like a high school or college class ring, with a stone at the top, sometimes with the Star of Life set on top of the stone.
• Statement rings are bold, heavier designs. Some have a center gemstone and some feature the Star of Life alone. Gemstones can be simulated, lab created or genuine; each product description says which.
• Bands with the Star of Life and lettering worked around the ring.

Choose 0.925 sterling silver, 10K gold or 14K gold, in yellow or white gold, or two-tone: sterling silver with a 10K or 14K yellow gold emblem, or all gold mixing yellow and white gold. Every ring is hallmarked 925, 10K or 14K. Our guide to sterling silver vs. 10K vs. 14K gold compares their color, durability, price and care.

Medical rings come in men's sizes 8 to 14, including half sizes. Need a smaller or larger size? Contact us.

A wide, solid ring fits more snugly than a thin band, so consider going up a half size. Our ring size guide shows how to measure at home.

An EMT or paramedic ring marks the milestones of an EMS career: passing the certification exam, finishing paramedic school, a promotion to supervisor, years of service, EMS Week in May, or retirement. Families often give one to honor the medic who answers every call.

Both carry the Star of Life. The difference is the lettering: EMT rings read "EMT" and paramedic rings read "PARAMEDIC," so you can choose the one that matches your certification.

Yes. Retired EMTs and paramedics often wear one to mark their career, and spouses, parents and children wear medical rings to show pride in the medic in their family.
