{"product_id":"silver-oval-signet-ring","title":"SILVER OVAL SIGNET RING","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOh, I do love a signet ring. There is something wonderfully self-important about one — in the nicest possible way. It says, I have a seal, I have initials, I may own a library, even if the closest you have actually come to aristocracy is successfully getting a parking space outside Waitrose.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e925 Sterling Silver Oval Signet Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e is a beautifully classic little pinkie ring, designed with a \u003cstrong\u003e12 x 10mm oval face\u003c\/strong\u003e and available in two different weights. The \u003cstrong\u003eMedium weight is approximately 4.7g\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy weight is approximately 6.6g\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you the choice between something slightly more delicate and something with a little more substantial presence on the finger.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe ring is available in \u003cstrong\u003eUK sizes G to P\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it particularly lovely as a traditional pinkie signet ring, although there is absolutely no jewellery police insisting that you wear it on your little finger. Wear it wherever you damn well please. That's the beauty of jewellery.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003e925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a timeless design with a wonderfully vintage-inspired feel. The oval face gives you that traditional signet-ring silhouette without becoming enormous and shouty, making it equally appealing as a women's pinkie ring, men's pinkie ring or unisex Sterling Silver signet ring. In fact, signet rings have become rather wonderfully democratic over the years. The old rules about who should wear one can go and sit quietly in the corner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd if you want to make yours properly personal, I can arrange \u003cstrong\u003ehand engraving at cost price\u003c\/strong\u003e. Simple initials are \u003cstrong\u003e£40\u003c\/strong\u003e, or if you have something more elaborate in mind, I can contact my talented hand engraver, who has many years of experience, and obtain a quotation for you. There is something particularly lovely about having a signet ring engraved by hand rather than having a machine simply bash away at it while everyone stands around pretending this is terribly exciting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Little Signet Ring History\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe signet ring has a wonderfully long history, because apparently humanity decided thousands of years ago that signing your name was simply not sufficiently dramatic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor centuries, signet rings were used as personal seals to authenticate documents, correspondence and transactions. The engraved design on the face could be pressed into sealing wax, creating a distinctive mark associated with its owner. In other words, before passwords, PINs and the endless indignity of proving that you are, in fact, a human being, people had a ring.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe tradition stretches back thousands of years. Seals were used during the Bronze Age, and ancient cultures used carved stones and other materials to create personal or official marks. The craftsmen entrusted with producing these seals held an important position because the seal was not merely decorative — it represented identity, authority and authenticity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEarly signet rings could feature carved gemstones such as \u003cstrong\u003ePeridot, Sardonyx and Jasper\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen because they were attractive, durable and sufficiently workable for engraving. Over time, the signet ring became associated with family crests, initials and personal insignia, eventually evolving into the wonderfully wearable piece of jewellery we know today.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI rather like the idea that this little Silver ring carries all of that history without requiring you to have a family crest, a castle or an alarming number of footmen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eMake It Yours – Hand Engraving Available\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you would like this \u003cstrong\u003eSterling Silver signet ring engraved\u003c\/strong\u003e, I can arrange engraving at cost price. \u003cstrong\u003eSimple initials are £40\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen ordering engraving, please tell me exactly what you would like engraved and carefully check \u003cstrong\u003eall spellings, initials and dates\u003c\/strong\u003e before confirming.
