FAQs

A medieval signet ring is a functional piece of personal jewellery featuring an engraved bezel used to press a unique design into hot wax for sealing letters, legal documents, and merchant goods.

Medieval signet rings were commonly cast from copper alloys such as bronze or brass, with higher-status examples crafted from silver or gold, featuring hand-engraved bezels cut with steel tools.

Authentic medieval signet rings display signs of hand-engraving, slight asymmetry from sand-casting methods, and natural surface patination or oxidisation resulting from long-term burial.

Historical signet rings can be worn as statement jewellery on a chain or finger, or displayed inside glass-topped collector cases alongside other historical metalwork.

Preserve bronze signet rings by keeping them in a low-humidity environment to prevent active bronze disease, cleaning only with a dry soft brush and avoiding chemical polishes.
