Signet rings with a family crest

The most requested examples are signet rings with a family crest. Here the complete coat of arms, with shield, helmet, mantling and if desired a family motto, is engraved in miniature into the gemstone or into the precious metal. Every coat of arms calls for its own approach: a simple shield comes into its own differently than a complex alliance crest. For more examples and explanation, visit the page signet ring with family crest, or read how we design a new coat of arms if your family does not yet have one.

Examples of women's signet rings

We also craft signet rings to measure for women: with a slimmer shank, a finer face and often set with a coloured gemstone such as layered agate or carnelian. Popular choices are the oval model and the classic antique, worn as a pinky ring or on the ring finger, engraved with a family crest, monogram or initials. You will find more examples and explanation on the page women's signet rings.

Frequently asked questions

What is a signet ring?

A signet ring is a ring with a broad, flat face into which a seal is engraved, usually a family crest, monogram or initials. Originally the seal was used to sign documents; today it is above all a personal piece of jewellery.

Can I have a signet ring made with my own family crest?

Yes. We engrave an existing family crest into the ring by hand or by laser. If you do not yet have a coat of arms, our heraldic artist will design one according to the rules of heraldry.

Are these signet rings for men or women?

Both. We craft signet rings for men and women, in various models, precious metals and gemstones. Every ring is made to measure.
