Signet Rings
Why Choose a Signet Ring
When selecting a ring, it's important to consider not only the style and metal type but also the history and significance behind the design. Signet rings are timeless, offering elegance and a deep-rooted symbol of heritage and authority. With a rich history dating back to ancient times, these rings have been worn by royals and dignitaries alike, serving as a mark of identity and status. Today, signet rings are a stylish accessory and a meaningful piece of jewellery that can be passed down through generations.
At Ramsdens Jewellery, we offer a wide range of new and pre-owned signet rings, ensuring you find the perfect piece to suit your taste and budget. Whether you're looking for a classic yellow gold signet ring or something more intricate, our collection caters to all preferences.
The Benefits of Choosing a Signet Ring
Signet rings are known for their bold design, typically featuring a flat top surface that can be engraved with initials, family crests, or personalised symbols. Traditionally worn on the pinky finger, these rings have evolved into versatile pieces that can be worn on any finger, by both men and women. The versatility of a signet ring allows it to be dressed up or down, making it suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.
One of the greatest benefits of signet rings is their ability to be personalised. Whether you choose to engrave your initials, a meaningful symbol, or a family crest, these rings are a lasting reminder of your heritage or personal milestones. And if you’re buying a pre-owned signet ring, it adds a sense of history and character to the piece.
At Ramsdens, our signet rings are crafted from a variety of metals, with yellow gold signet rings being the most popular choice due to their timeless appeal and durability. Signet rings in white gold, silver, and other metals are also available, offering a wide range of styles to suit every taste.
Gold Signet Ring Styles
Our collection of gold signet rings spans various designs, from classic plain bands to ornate, gemstone-encrusted pieces. Yellow gold signet rings are a traditional and popular choice, often featuring a flat top surface for engraving. This classic design has been favoured for centuries and remains a symbol of authority and tradition.
If you're seeking something more unique, consider a gemstone signet ring where the flat surface is embellished with a gemstone such as ruby or sapphire, adding a touch of colour and luxury to the traditional design.
In addition to yellow gold, we also stock white gold signet rings, which offer a contemporary twist on this classic style, and silver signet rings, which provide a more understated and affordable option.
Pre-Owned Signet Rings
At Ramsdens, we also offer a range of pre-owned signet rings, each one carefully inspected by our expert team to ensure quality and authenticity. A pre-owned signet ring can be a wonderful choice for those seeking a truly unique piece with history. Plus, it’s a great way to find a vintage design or even a signet ring that may have been discontinued in modern jewellery ranges.
Men’s and Women’s Signet Rings
Traditionally seen as a masculine accessory, signet rings have become increasingly popular among women in recent years. At Ramsdens, we offer a variety of men’s signet rings, often with bulkier designs and engraving options. Popular choices for men include yellow gold signet rings engraved with family crests or initials, as well as more modern designs in white gold or silver.
For women, our collection includes both classic and more delicate signet ring designs. From smaller, understated bands to more ornate gemstone signet rings, there is something for every style. Whether you prefer a plain gold band or something with a touch of sparkle, signet rings are a versatile and fashionable accessory for women as well.
Personalising Your Signet Ring
One of the key features that make signet rings so special is the ability to personalise them. Many of our signet rings come with a blank surface, perfect for engraving. Whether you choose to engrave a family crest, initials, or a unique design, your signet ring will be a piece of jewellery that is truly one-of-a-kind.
