The signet ring: the symbolic jewel turned fashion accessory.
A bit of history
The signet ring is a symbolic piece of jewelry that was once a sign of belonging to the nobility. It also had a function as it allowed documents to be sealed.
Today, signet rings have been democratized and are part of the most personalized jewels. This fashion accessory nevertheless retains a strong meaning, an emotional aspect of belonging to a family and the heritage that can be made of it.
The signet ring is a gift that can be given for a special occasion or to several members of a family. Very popular, the signet ring is a trendy accessory for both men and women. The upper part of the signet ring can be embellished with an engraving and/or precious stones.
On which finger should a signet ring be worn?
Traditionally, men wore signet rings on their left ring finger, just like their wedding rings. Some decided to wear it on the index finger, which was a sign of power.
Women and the youngest members of the family wore it preferably on the right little finger. The orientation of the engraving had a meaning: the motif is turned towards the wearer: she is in a relationship, the motif is in the direction of the nail: the person is free.
Times are changing and it is no longer mandatory to wear the signet ring according to tradition. It is a piece of jewelry that can now be worn on the finger of your choice!
