Classic Signet with Custom Hand Engraving in Sterling Silver

From ancient times through today, the signet ring style has remained one of the most classic and versatile pieces of jewelry you can have in your wardrobe. When hand engraved, it becomes a highly symbolic and personal piece, a family heirloom.  

A Classic Signet Ring 

The classic signet has a circular or oval face with wide sloping shoulders. The flat face sits atop your finger, providing the perfect space for a meaningful symbol or initial. 

Available here are five styles of classic signet, each of which can be hand engraved with the symbol or initial of your choosing.  Here are the signet descriptions; in the group photo, signet 1 is on the left and it goes in number order to signet 5 on the right. You will then find detailed photos of each ring in that same order as you scroll through.

1. A larger gent's style signet with a slightly oval face, listed here as "slight oval." This is the heaviest ring of the bunch.
2. A larger gent's style signet with an elongated oval face, listed here as "longer oval."
3. A women's signet - listed here as "smaller pinky" and the smallest ring in the group photo - with an oval face.
4. A larger gent's style signet with a circular face. Listed here as "circular."  This circular signet is also the one you see engraved with the word "mama" in silver.
5. A women's signet - listed here as "larger pinky" - with a slightly oval face.

Hand Engraving for Your Signet Ring

Each of these signets comes with custom hand engraving, included in the cost of the ring (note: a much more complex engraving will have added costs!).  See the last set of photos for some examples of the styles and types of engraving that are possible.  Message me after ordering to let me know the initial or symbol you would like on your ring. 

Interested in a deeper intaglio style engraving? In the last two photos - a necklace and a rose gold ring - you will see what intaglio style engraving looks like. Message me for details and pricing.
