Usually worn by gentlemen on the pinkie of the non-dominant hand, signets rings are discreet signs of a history and standing. Whether engraved with the family crest, initials or house sigil, these traditional rings were first used as a seal of authenticity to brand a document when the majority of men were illiterate.

From a writing instrument to a mark of nobility, the signet ring has evolved through decades. Reimagined by a large selection of jewelry designers these pieces are coming back as a modern must-have and seduce nowadays both men and women who see in this statement piece a way to express themselves with a bespoke jewelry creation.

As a matter of fact, the signet has a flat surface that can be personalized with a coat of arms, as we have seen, or a bespoke artwork. Signets rings can also be set with precious stones, whether your birth stone or the one that you feel connect with depending on your mood.
