Signet rings carry initials, crests or a plain polished face, and these UK jewellers make and hand-engrave them in gold and silver. Once used to seal letters in wax, the signet ring has become a lasting personal piece for men and women alike, and the makers here craft and engrave them to order.
A Ring with History
The signet is one of the oldest forms of jewellery, traditionally worn on the little finger and engraved with a family crest or monogram. Modern versions keep that heritage while suiting everyday wear, in styles from the classic oval and cushion faces to signets set with a single stone.
Engraving Options
The face can be left plain, engraved with initials or a crest, or set with an intaglio design. Hand engraving gives the finest, most durable result, while machine engraving is quicker and more affordable. A jeweller will advise on the right metal depth and lettering style so the engraving lasts and stays crisp.
