Signet Rings: Timeless Markers of Identity

Signet rings have been all the rage lately, but what many people don't know is that the style has a rich history that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt around 3500 BCE. Originally used as personal seals to authenticate documents and goods, “Signet” comes from the Latin term signum meaning 'token' or 'seal'. The rings' engraved designs left unique imprints in clay or wax, symbolizing power and lineage — lasting markers of time and relationships. The practice of sacred carving, where secular objects were made holy through engraving, imbued these symbols with deep meaning, turning images, icons, and forms into representations of personal and cultural significance.

Clover Diamond + Coil Signet Rings with Custom Engraving

Today, most engravings rely on laser techniques that are shallow and easily erased, while the intricate craft of hand engraving is becoming increasingly rare. Our Insignia Collection revives this timeless artistry and offers opportunities for personalization, featuring four distinctive signet rings that honor their ancient roots while incorporating modern design elements.


"Insignia embraces the idea of 'making your mark' in the modern world. To us, that mark is in creating jewelry that captures the deep emotions and rich histories tied to life's most meaningful moments. Jewelry is more than adornment or accessory; it's a vessel for storytelling, a way to carry powerful emotions and personal legacies forward."
