A CTR ring is a ring marked with the letters "CTR," for "choose the right," commonly worn by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the "LDS" or "Mormon" Church) as a reminder to act righteously, and as a symbol of their religious affiliation.
CTR rings were introduced in 1970 by Primary general president LaVern W. Parmley after being recommended by a committee chaired by Naomi W. Randall. In connection with the children's Sunday school program (called "Primary"), each LDS child in this age group was issued an adjustable ring with a green escutcheon bearing the letters "CTR" in silver. Helen Alldredge, a Primary General Board member in the 1960s, designed the CTR shield logo.
Over the years CTR rings have become popular with both children and adults in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are now available in a variety of designs in over 30 languages. "CTR" and the phrase "Choose the Right" are not trademarked in the United States and may be used by anyone for commercial purposes.
