9CT GOLD OVAL SIGNET RING
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Right, pull up a chair, pop the kettle on, and prepare yourself for peak British elegance — because I’m about to wax lyrical about this absolute icon of personal adornment: my traditional oval signet ring. Yes, a signet ring. The jewellery equivalent of saying, “I pay my council tax on time and I have a sense of legacy, darling.”
💍 THE RING THAT SAYS YOU MEAN BUSINESS
Crafted in glorious 9ct Gold and available in sizes G to U (and beyond if you ask nicely), this beauty features a classic 12mm x 10mm oval head — the perfect size for engraving everything from your initials to a fully dramatic coat of arms.
The head is a satisfying 2.5mm thick, so there's plenty of Gold real estate for everything from a chic monogram to a full seal-engraved crest (for when you want to look like you might own land and/or a small castle).
Choose from medium-weight (5.1–6g) or heavyweight (6.6–7.5g), depending on how much finger presence you're going for.
✒️ ENGRAVING: FROM BASIC TO FULL GAME OF THRONES
Want it engraved? Excellent.
I work with a proper hand engraver — none of this laser nonsense — someone who can carve everything from understated initials to a heraldic masterpiece that would make a medieval king nod in respect.
Just message me with what you have in mind, and I’ll get you a timescale.

🇬🇧 WHY BRITISH JEWELLERY COSTS MORE (BUT IS WORTH IT)
Our hallmarking system is basically the SAS of metal verification — the oldest and strictest in the world. Every piece that should be hallmarked is. No pretending, no shortcuts, no plating masquerading as solid metal. Just proper, regulation-loving British craftsmanship.
🛠️ CUSTOM? ABSOLUTELY.
Different size?
Different metal?
Want it in Silver, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct Gold, Platinum or Palladium?
Want gemstones worked in?
Want something wildly ambitious?
Tell me.
Almost anything is possible — it’s just a matter of cost, time, and how bold you're feeling.
📜 A BRIEF HISTORY OF SIGNET RINGS (AKA OG ID CARDS)
Signet rings were the original signatures — pressed into wax or clay to authenticate documents long before emails or forged "Regards" existed. A signet meant authority. Power. Identity.
Now? It means style, symbolism, and the quiet confidence of someone who knows their own lineage… or is at least willing to fake it convincingly.
📦 SHIPPING: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
I’m a one-woman sparkle factory, dispatching like a champ — often the same day. But I source many treasures from my talented makers, so stock is sometimes as limited as my tolerance for dull jewellery.
🇬🇧 UK SHIPPING
Expect your ring to arrive in 5–7 business days.
Fashionably late, like a well-dressed diva.
Engraving will add to this - expect a week or two additional, and plan accordingly.
🌍 INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Anywhere from 5–30 business days, all depending on customs and the whims of bureaucracy.
Patience is a virtue. Sparkle is the reward.
Holiday periods, Black Friday, and other shopping apocalypses may cause delays. Buyers are responsible for customs/VAT.
