Signet Rings

A signet ring is a classic and meaningful piece of jewellery, traditionally worn as an expression of identity, ancestry, or personal identity. Traditionally, a signet ring was engraved with a family crest or unique symbol and used to stamp documents in wax, thereby acting as an authenticating seal. Nowadays, while the practical need to seal has declined, the signet ring remains a potent symbol of personal expression. A signet ring can be worn for personal style, a legacy, or meaning, and it is a meaningful accessory that features a classic legacy with modern elegance.

Engraving is what truly makes a signet ring personal. Popular engraving choices include initials, monograms, family crests, zodiac signs, or other symbols that are meaningful to the wearer and indicate personal values or heritage. Some people may choose to have a unique piece of artwork or minimal line drawings that are made special by sentimental value. Choosing engravings that are either symbolic or clean and modern allow your signet ring to reflect and convey a story that gives it meaning, rather than being simply another piece of jewellery. We offer custom engraving services and can assist in creating something special.

Traditionally, signet rings are worn on the pinky finger of the non-dominant hand—especially in British and European cultures. However, modern styling allows for more flexibility. Some prefer to wear them on the ring or middle finger, and others even wear them on a chain as a necklace. Ultimately, the “right” finger depends on your personal preference and comfort. We encourage you to wear your signet ring in a way that feels natural and suits your individual style.
