One of the most controversial men’s jewelry is the signet ring. Some consider it kitsch. Others think that it is intended exclusively for aristocrats. But it is obvious that the elegant signet, combined with an elegant and distinctive look, looks very stylish.

Girls are even more crazy about him when they see that he has the courage to wear such accessories.

How to choose a men’s signet?

A signet ring is a decorative ring with a monogram or coat of arms. The name of this decoration comes from the Latin word signum. It appeared in the Roman Empire and was originally an attribute of men from noble families. On it, the family coat of arms is made in a mirror image, because such a ring was originally used to imprint the sign on a wax seal.

Classic men’s rings were made of precious stones framed in gold. They were worn differently in different countries. In Europe — on the ring finger of the left hand. An ancient English tradition requires that such a ring be worn on the little finger. Some Slavic peoples wear it on the middle finger.

Modern men’s seals are made in different forms:

• square — a classic option for business people due to strict lines;

• rectangular — look modern, stylish and emphasize the status of the owner;

• oval / round — engraved with the family coat of arms;

• in the form of the head of an animal (tiger, wolf) or a card suit — they look outrageous, stylish and unbanal.
