What You Should Know: Hallmarked for Chester, 1901

**This Ring Can Be Resized

Signets are the definition of a meaningful heirloom. They have been around since ancient times and have served many diverse purposes.

The word signet comes from “signum”, the Latin word for “sign.” This type of ring originated among religious leaders and Pharaohs who wielded incredible power in their day. Their names alone conveyed power and influence, and their signet was their mark, used to seal and sign documents. A unique family crest was traditionally inscribed onto the face of the ring. Pressing the ring into hot wax was the original stamp of approval and, in some parts of that world, carried legal weight.

Though she’s more than 120 years old, this signet looks about as modern as they come. Sturdy, svelte, stately. She boasts hallmarks from Chester, England circa 1901. Chester was a well known jewelry manufacturing mecca at the turn of the century, with master craftsmanship as a trademark. This exceptional ring is no exception. She’s just waiting to be loved some more.
