At a time, every individual of importance would have owned a signet ring. From the Italian Mafia to the Egyptian Pharaohs, they were once used as identification to legitimise documents, seal letters, and sign off death warrants. Now, they’ve become a staple accessory for any discerning gent - with no family crest required.
Alongside the classic chain and huggie earrings, the signet is an easy entry to the world of jewellery, designed with a masculine silhouette that will add a level of intrigue to any otherwise undecorated hand. Traditionally worn on the pinky, you can now choose whichever finger you prefer, but the best rule to remember is the larger the finger, the chunkier the ring.
