A Brief History of Signet Rings

To know the history of signet rings, let's rewind a few thousand years, shall we?

It was during ancient Egypt that pharaohs and individuals of similar standing were seen wearing them as a mark of power and influence. The Greeks and Romans followed shortly, where the rings had intricate carvings of gods, initials, or their family crests. In medieval Europe, a signet ring wasn’t just seen as a fashionable accessory; it was your literal signature. You’d press it into soft wax to seal documents or use it as a signature, proving who you were without actually saying a word.

The word “signet” originated from the Latin word “signum,” which means “to sign.” It was your mark, your vibe, your identity. So, yes, before ink and fingerprints were even a thing, people were already using jewelry to say, ‘this is me.’
