Our Engraving Techniques.
Crest Engraving
The traditional method for family crests involves reverse-engraving, creating a mirrored impression for wax sealing. It demands exceptional skill for a perfect image.
Hand Engraving
Our master engravers manually carve designs into metal with a graver and hammer, offering unmatched depth, texture, and artistry machines can't replicate.
Laser Engraving
Our modern laser technology reproduces complex logos, intricate text, and detailed graphics with incredible accuracy, offering a clean finish for ultimate precision.
A Symbol of Identity & Legacy
Signet rings were worn for centuries as a mark of identity and authority. The unique crest or family seal was used to stamp and authenticate documents, serving as a personal signature.
Beyond a mere tool, it was a powerful symbol of lineage, social standing, and personal honour, passed down as a family heirloom. Today, the signet ring has regained popularity as a stylish accessory that represents the wearer's heritage and family pride.

Signet Ring FAQs.
What materials can I choose for my signet ring?
We offer a wide range of premium metals including 9ct and 18ct yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as platinum and sterling silver. Your choice depends on your preference for colour, durability, and budget.
What if I don't have a clear image of my family crest?
Our designers can often help you research or reconstruct your crest from fragmentary information, or we can work with you to create a completely new personal symbol that reflects your identity.
Can the ring be used for wax sealing?
Yes, our traditional deep-engraving technique is specifically designed to create a mirrored image that produces a crisp, clear impression when used with sealing wax.
How long does the bespoke process take?
Depending on the complexity of the design and the engraving method chosen, a custom signet ring typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from initial design approval to final delivery.
How do I ensure the ring fits perfectly?
We recommend booking a consultation at our Chichester showroom for professional sizing. Alternatively, we can provide a sizing kit or guidance for our clients in Chichester.
