Signet rings
Frequently asked questions
What is a signet ring and what is its meaning?
The signet ring is a ring recognizable by its bezel, historically used to bear an initial, a symbol, or a coat of arms. Formerly associated with a family's history and certain traditions, it has today become a personal and modern piece of jewelry, worn by both men and women.
Reinterpreted in jewelry, it retains its symbolic character while adopting more contemporary lines.
How to choose a signet ring for a man or a woman?
A men's or women's signet ring is selected based on the shape of the bezel, the volume of the ring, the metal, and the desired design. A sleek line favors a contemporary aesthetic, while a stone or a pattern brings more character.
The signet ring is no longer bound by strict codes: its proportions and style now allow everyone to make it their own as a piece of jewellery with character.
Which signet ring to choose: gold or with a stone?
A gold signet ring highlights the shape and craftsmanship of the precious metal, while a signet ring adorned with a stone creates a point of contrast on the bezel.
Valérie Danenberg's creations notably feature combinations with lapis lazuli or bloodstone, as well as gold designs. Each stone gives the ring a different identity and allows for a more personal style.
Can a signet ring be customized with an engraving, initials, or a coat of arms?
Yes. Customizing a signet ring can notably involve engraving, initials, or a coat of arms, depending on the model and the project. The bezel then becomes a space for expression, making it possible to create a piece of jewelry tied to an individual, a family, or a history.
This work can transform the signet ring into a family heirloom that can be passed down, or simply into a unique creation bearing a personal symbol.
Which finger should you wear a signet ring on today?
Tradition formerly associated the signet ring with certain family and social customs, but there is no longer a single rule today. A modern signet ring can be worn on the pinky, the ring finger, or another finger depending on its design and the desired effect.
The key is to select a suitable size and proportions so that the tray remains balanced in the hand and pleasant in daily life.
