Originating in 3500BC Mesopotamia, signet rings featured rolling seals for clay impressions. Minoans and Egyptians adopted them for status, while Romans flaunted them for wealth. Over time, they authenticated documents with family crests in wax. King Edward II's decree popularized them further among nobility and authority figures. Enduring as heirlooms, signet rings symbolize lineage and pride. Resurging in the 18th century, they adorned the hands of merchants by the 19th century's end.
Today, signet rings adorn everyday people, symbolizing statements or connections to loved ones. Available in diverse styles, they can be custom-designed to narrate individual stories, reflecting modern manufacturing techniques and precision.
