On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate ancient signet for your needs in our varied inventory. Each design created in this style — which was crafted with great care and often made from Gold, Yellow Gold and 22k Gold — can elevate any look. Our collection of these items for sale includes 77 vintage editions and 23 modern creations to choose from as well. If you’re looking for an ancient signet from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 18th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Finding an appealing ancient signet — no matter the origin — is easy, but DUBINI, Vicki Orr and Romae Jewelry each produced a popular version that is worth a look. An ancient signet of any era or style can lend versatility to your look, but a version featuring Carnelian, from our inventory of 7, is particularly popular. An oval cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also round cut and cabochon versions for sale. When shopping for an ancient signet, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or men today than there are for women.
How Much is a Ancient Signet?
Prices for an ancient signet can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $1,075 and can go as high as $75,000, while this accessory, on average, fetches $4,134.
Finding the Right signet-rings for You
Traditionally considered a ring for men, a vintage signet ring is a popular gift today for anyone who desires an expressive, timeless piece of jewelry that can feature all manner of engraved motifs, gemstones, specific symbols or monograms.
Whether it's an antique gold signet ring, diamond signet ring or some other classic iteration, signet rings get their name from signus, which means “sign” in Latin.
These 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. During the Middle Ages, signet rings were symbols of power and prestige and common accessories for nobility. Later, during the 19th century, precious and semiprecious stones such as rubies and diamonds were added to gold signet rings as they took on a more ornate appearance than they had previously.
In recent years, fashion has been primarily about individuality, and nothing is more personal than a jewel bearing a name or monogram. That is the reason jewelers have revived traditional signet rings, custom-engraving their designs with customers’ preferred words or symbols. Those who prefer the thrill of the hunt have a range of vintage letter charms and pendants to sift through.
And it isn't all about men's signet rings anymore, either — the accessory is for everyone. Princess Diana wore a signet ring that was a gift from Charles before their wedding, and we all know that the royals are top-tier fashion influencers, especially when it comes to rings.
Find vintage diamond signet rings, onyx signet rings and other types of rings on 1stDibs.
