Signet rings transcend mere adornment, carrying a rich history dating back to the medieval era. Initially crafted as stamps to seal documents, these rings bore the family crest in reverse, allowing the wearer to securely seal their correspondence. Today, signet rings have evolved into treasured family heirlooms, often featuring a family crest, initials, or a personal design.

Die sinking by hand
At Cassandra Goad all our signet rings are hand engraved through the method of die sinking. Die sinking is a deeply cut hand engraving technique which produces a highly detailed and durable crest. Die sinking requires a high level of skill and is incredibly labour intensive. For this reason, our signet rings can take between two to three weeks to be engraved.
