Are you looking for a nice graduation gift or a gift for another special occasion? Then the signet ring is perfect. Seal rings have been a real fashion jewelry for generations. In the past, the signet ring was always worn as a status symbol, but nowadays the signet ring is worn because we find them beautiful or because they are passed on in the family.
What is a signet ring?
Seal rings are oval flat rings with a relief or engraved design. The word seal comes from the Latin word "signum" which means sign. The rings were used to sign documents by pressing the ring. It is the same idea as today's signatures. Seal rings were very expensive to make and were often owned by the powerful families.
The history of signet rings
A signet ring finds its origin more than 2000 years before Christ. Well -known figures and images of gods were placed on the rings. Later in the Bronze Age, seal rings began to look like the rings that we wear today and they were usually made of metal with slightly more embellishment to the subject, because craftsmen and goldsmiths became more skilled in the engravings and complicated designs they could make. Towards the end of the 19th century, most people were able to have a signet ring made and they were no longer a piece of jewelry that was only worn by the elite.

How do you wear a signet ring?

It was so easier to stamp the ring in the wash without having to remove the signet ring. How you are wearing your ring is entirely your own choice! There is no "right" way to wear a signet ring.
