Gold signet ring

Hand Engraved Signet Rings

Rings in sterling silver or 14k gold rings.  Each is hand-cast using the lost wax method of casting. Your arms or design is then hand engraved directly in the metal using the same techniques as used for the last 2000 years.

You can see examples of wax seals made from some the the rings I've engraved on these pages.

Don't confuse these rings with those produced by acid etching the design into the ring top. The acid etched rings will make, at best, a flat line impression in the sealing wax. Hand carving the design into the ring top produces a ring that will make an accurate, detailed, heraldically correct, relief image of the design when used for sealing. I'll compare the quality of the engraving on my signet rings and seals with any in the world today. You'll also find my prices to be fully $200.00-$1000.00 less than that charged by others for rings that are frequently of inferior quality to the rings I produce.

!!NOTE!!

You can order a signet ring or swivel seal by clicking below but you will still have to send me an image of the arms or design to be engraved.  The image doesn't have to be a great work of art. You can send the image to me using any of the three methods below.

Signet rings and swivel seals take 8-10 weeks to produce.

The oval signet rings are available with three different size ring tops. The smaller rings may limit the amount of detail that can be hand-engraved. The 14k rings are priced differently depending on the size of the ring top. The 14k rings can be fabricated in 14k white or yellow gold.   The sterling silver rings are $185.00 regardless of the size of the ring top.

Renaissance Style Swivel Seal

Patterned after a piece from Queen Elizabeth I, the swivel seal is a pendant that can be used for making wax seals.  The portion of the pendant on which the design is engraved is hinged at the sides so it can be swiveled flat for use.  The oval portion that will have your arms or design hand-engraved into measures approximately 3/4 inch. Made in sterling silver. The 20 inch sterling silver rope chain is not included but can be purchased on the Chain Page.
