Making a signet ring from scratch.

Signet rings first started off as a cool little utility item mainly used for stamping wax seals and documents to indicate that they were signed off by a specific person. I had lost access to my nice camera this time but i should get it back soon. Hold with tradition and carve your family s coat of arms into a classic oval ring face. Over the years this little flat topped ring design changed from a stamp to a fancy piece of jewelry used to indicate ancestry and status.
