If all this is still a little confusing for you, don't worry—there’s a really simple tip you can use to achieve balance with little to no effort. The beauty of this trick is that your signet ring can be worn on either hand or finger, giving you the freedom to be creative with other types of rings you wear alongside it.
There's no right or wrong answers here; it simply comes down to which styles catch your eye. Choose one or all of the options below—it's your choice. A strong collection is about having the freedom and versatility to select from a variety of different options, depending on your mood or the occasion. Remember, try to stick to one statement ring and stack more understated options around it. From more minimalist styles, to statement pieces with intricate details and gemstones, here are a few signet rings to consider adding to your collection:
For decades, meaningful signet rings were hard to come by and were traditionally handed down through the generations. However, these types of rings are becoming increasingly popular with more exclusive and interesting styles to choose from. Meaningful rings like this Saint Christopher can have a deeper meaning and reassuring presence of the finger.
As well as a gold or silver shank and face, rings like this will usually showcase a precious or semi-precious stone. The most common of which tends to be the black onyx gemstone. These types of ring are timeless, and the dark, commanding hues of Onyx are perfect for both formal events and making a statement in your everyday style.
Handmade using expert techniques, men's enamel rings are made by fusing powdered glass to a base metal at high temperatures to create a vibrantly coloured, one-of-a-kind design.

People often argue that a sovereign ring is completely different from a signet ring. However, in this day and age, we beg to differ. Traditionally, a sovereign ring is more of a decorative piece, whereas a signet ring was historically used for sealing documents with a unique emblem or family crest. Today, think of the sovereign ring as a more detailed and intricately version of your favourite signet ring.
