- What is a seal ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A seal ring — or signet ring — is a popular gift for anyone who desires an expressive, timeless piece of jewelry that can feature all manner of engraved motifs, gemstones, specific symbols or monograms. Signet rings get their name from signus, which means “sign” in Latin. The rings, which may historically be referred to as “seal rings,” date back thousands of years and were used as a form of signature. Whatever may have been engraved on the ring — a married couple’s initials, a family crest — identified ownership for the purposes of authenticating documents and more when impressed on soft wax. Find antique and vintage signet rings on 1stDibs.

- What Rolex do Navy Seals wear?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024What Rolex Navy Seals wear varies.

Shop a large collection of Rolex watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether Patek Philippe watches have the Geneva Seal on them depends on their age.

Timepieces produced after that instead feature the Patek Philippe hallmark: two intertwined Ps positioned inside a shield. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Patek Philippe watches.
