The Story of Style: The History of the Signet Ring

By Christine Lila Davies


Signet rings have a long and illustrious history and figure prominently in a great deal of well known artwork and literature. The signet ring's original purposes of indicating rank and imprinting seals on important letters are no longer concerns in the modern western world, but the beauty of signet rings and their interesting background have kept them alive as stylish fashion accessories for men and women. The most common types of signet rings currently worn are made from white or yellow gold and engraved with the initials or simply the first letter of the wearer's first name.

White gold signet rings for men were inspired by practices dating back thousands of years, but the many styles of mens white gold signet rings sold available today are decidedly modern. White gold is quickly replacing yellow gold as the preferred metal for mens wedding bands, as the cooler tones of white gold is often better suited to masculine designs and several metals in pale, silvery colors are used in many other accessories for men like cuff links and watches. A signet ring also sets these off nicely.
