Signet rings

The signet ring is one of the most ancient accessories and with the highest symbolic value in the history of jewelry.  

Signet rings have a really ancient origin: they were already used by populations of Mesopotamia as a trade seal and worn in ancient Egypt as a symbol of prestige and manifestation of ego. During the Middle Age the signet ring became the symbol of one family’s prestige, which was handed down from father to son and it had also a legal value, as it was used for the documents’ validation by imprinting the family seal (through the ring) on the sealing wax.

This type of ring is a symbol handed down in centuries, which has come down to our time while retaining its charm and prestige. 

Signet rings are trendy nowadays for both women and men. 

Men signet rings of Gioielli di Valenza are typically produced in only gold, while women rings are usually in white, rose or yellow gold with gemstones pavés and are traditionally worn in the little finger. That’s why it is also known as the pinky ring.
