Men’s Diamond Signet Rings

Traditionally worn on the little finger, men’s signet rings were often used to mark and seal documents by pressing the face of the ring into hot wax. Usually designed with a unique family crest on the face of the ring, men’s diamond signet rings are decorated with diamonds as well as a unique design. From simple to intricate styles and different metal colours, browse our range of diamond signet rings below.

What Is A Diamond Signet Ring?

Similar to other men’s signet rings, it’s considered one of the most impactful pieces of jewellery around. Often referred to as a ‘gentleman’s ring’, they were traditionally worn by royalty and upperclassmen on their little finger.

Dating back to the 10th century, these rings were engraved with family crests or a unique design and pressed into melted wax to authenticate documents signed by the royals. Since then, diamond signet rings for men were seen as a mark of wealth and class. Noted royals and celebrities have worn signet rings, including King Charles, Steve McQueen, Sir Winston Churchill and The Pope.

Modern-day signet rings are no longer used to mark documents but have been seen to be associated with memberships to clubs, military or high members of society. However, it also can be worn for fashion and adds a touch of class and sentiment to your collection. Often given as a ‘coming of age’ gift to men, they symbolise an important moment in an individual’s life.

Men’s diamond signet rings are very similar to their counterparts, with diamonds set onto the ring to accentuate the design and look. With a flat, raised surface which sits above the rest of the ring, which is called the ring’s face, and is engraved with a design and decorated with diamonds.
