There’s no denying it, signet rings are one of the most versatile pieces around. While they’ve always been among our best sellers, we’ve seen a real spike recently after Dexter (played by Leo Woodall) rocked one on his pinky in Netflix’s ‘One Day’ TV adaptation. Did someone say the new Connell’s chain? You know we’re here for it.
The New Connell's Chain
Based on the book by David Nicholls, ‘One Day’ sees the lives of Dexter and Emma (played by Ambika Mod) unfold over 14 episodes spanning from 15th July from 1988 to 2007.
The sartorial choices stunned us with their accuracy and playfulness. But our eyes, as always, were firmly centred on the jewellery. In this case, Dexter’s silver signet ring (that he wears through the show) is a marker of his social standing. It’s meaningful too – emblazoned with initials, it’s no doubt a family heirloom of sorts that goes on to represent his relationship with his mother. Though his character and outfit styling changes, his jewellery stays constant – as does his love and affection for Emma.
Worn By Everyone
Traditionally signet rings have been known as a more masculine style, but they can be worn by anyone. Just look to our best selling Lucy Williams designs or more dainty styles (like our Heart Signet Ring in 18ct gold vermeil or 14ct solid gold), loved by our female community. Size them down to wear on your pinky or size up for a thumb ring.
In the past, signet rings would be emblazoned with family crests or monograms. Our signet rings retain this personalisable element, able to be engraved (for free by us) with initials or a date that means something to you. This is a piece of jewellery that will truly never go out of style.
Five Signet Rings to Style
Heart Signet Ring
Make it personal with a signet ring from the heart. This classic design is truly hard to beat, able to be worn on any finger – plus it comes in 18ct gold vermeil or 14ct solid gold.
Lucy Williams Square Signet Ring
In partnership with our original muse, Lucy Williams, comes this vintage-inspired take on the classic signet ring – there's a reason it's one of our most iconic designs. Choose from transformative malachite, powerful black spinel, or mother of pearl for wisdom to add all the meaning to your ring stack.
Round Signet Ring
This smooth staple is available in both 18ct gold vermeil and sterling silver. Moreover, the rounded shape leans into a more modern aesthetic, while also making your fingers look longer – it's a win-win.
Men's Silver Signet Ring
Made by hand from 100% certified recycled sterling silver. This masculine and engravable signet ring is upgraded with a brushed finish and rounded edges. We love pairing it with a chunky chain bracelet for a statement look.
Harris Reed Janus Locket Signet Ring
This ornate coin locket ring – in collaboration with fashion designer, Harris Reed – features a male and female face to represent fluidity, surrounded by black pavé and ornate side engraved detailing. Open up the locket ring to place a photo inside (perfect for our snaps of Leo Woodall, just saying).
