How to choose the right men’s seal: tips from the Silvers store.

One of the most con­tro­ver­sial men’s jew­el­ry is a signet ring. Some con­sid­er it kitsch. Oth­ers think that it is intend­ed exclu­sive­ly for aris­to­crats. But it is obvi­ous that a sophis­ti­cat­ed seal com­bined with an ele­gant and char­ac­ter­is­tic way looks very styl­ish. A vivid exam­ple is the actor John­ny Depp. This female idol is not afraid to wear impres­sive rings and not at all fem­i­nine. Girls are crazy about him even more when they see that he has the courage to wear such acces­sories.

How to choose a man’s seal?

A signet ring is a dec­o­ra­tive ring with a mono­gram or coat of arms. The name of this orna­ment comes from the Latin word signum. It appeared in the Roman Empire and was orig­i­nal­ly an attribute of men from noble fam­i­lies. On it, the fam­i­ly coat of arms is made in a mir­ror image, because such a ring was orig­i­nal­ly used to fix the sign on the wax seal.

Clas­sic men’s rings were made of pre­cious stones framed in gold. They were worn in dif­fer­ent ways in dif­fer­ent coun­tries. In Europe — on the ring fin­ger of the left hand. An old Eng­lish tra­di­tion requires that such a ring be worn on the lit­tle fin­ger. Some Slav­ic peo­ples wear it on the mid­dle fin­ger.

Mod­ern men’s seals are made in var­i­ous forms:

• square — a clas­sic option for busi­ness peo­ple due to strict lines;

• rec­tan­gu­lar — look mod­ern, styl­ish and empha­size the sta­tus of the own­er;

• oval / round — with engrav­ing of the fam­i­ly coat of arms;

• in the form of an ani­mal’s head (tiger, wolf) or a card suit — they look out­ra­geous, styl­ish and unusu­al.

How to choose the right men’s signet rings?

Most men pre­fer prod­ucts with sim­ple shapes, believ­ing that they add mas­culin­i­ty and ele­gance. The orna­ments are made in the same design, but their dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als look dif­fer­ent.

When choos­ing the mate­r­i­al of the ring, you need to con­sid­er what cas­es it exists for:

• gold. Men con­sid­er red and yel­low gold too bright, white — more restrained. The sil­ver col­or is com­bined with a suit­able shade with a bracelet, strap, watch or pen­dant made of any mate­r­i­al;

• sil­ver. Its prod­ucts are afford­able and avail­able in a wide vari­ety of designs;

• steel. An even more bud­get option that looks unusu­al and orig­i­nal;

• tita­ni­um. This is a met­al from which futur­is­tic mas­sive jew­el­ry mod­els are made.

Anniversary signet ring for dad: how to choose

prop­er­ly cho­sen men’s jew­el­ry can diver­si­fy and empha­size the ele­gant nature of the father’s busi­ness or for­mal suit.

Cuf­flinks and a signet ring, matched to them by the col­or of the met­al or with a sim­i­lar gem­stone, are the per­fect set that will add shine to the whole out­fit. For this pur­pose, it is best to choose a gold ring for gold cuf­flinks, and sil­ver for sil­ver cuf­flinks.

A signet ring can have a tra­di­tion­al shape with a slight­ly flat­tened front or in the form of a wide pat­tern.

The orig­i­nal ver­sion of the gift is a ring with engrav­ing instead of a coat of arms (an impor­tant date, ini­tials, sym­bol or wish).

Since most men proud­ly rec­og­nize their nation­al­i­ty, they will be hap­py to wear seals with the image of the Ukrain­ian nation­al emblem — the tri­dent.

How to choose a signet ring size?

Before buy­ing a design­er ring, it is advis­able to try it on 3 times — in the morn­ing, after­noon and evening, because the thick­ness of the fin­gers changes dur­ing the day. In the morn­ing they are nar­row, and by the evening they may swell a lit­tle. And you need to be com­fort­able in the ring. If it’s hot out­side, you should rinse your hands with cool water before try­ing it on, and hot water if it’s cold.

If you want to make a sur­prise, you can take the man’s ring to a jew­el­er, who will deter­mine the size. If your loved one has not worn rings before, you can mea­sure the size of his fin­ger while sleep­ing — wrap it with threads with­out squeez­ing. On the fifth turn, make a mark with a mark­er and cut. Remove the thread, mea­sure the dis­tance to the mark and divide the result­ing num­ber by 15.7. The size of the ring will come out.

Mas­sive rings look beau­ti­ful only on thumbs. They short­en short fin­gers. On thin ones — they look defi­ant.

To cre­ate a har­mo­nious image, you should choose all the jew­el­ry of the same col­or, prefer­ably from dif­fer­ent met­als. But you should not com­bine a ring made of ceram­ics, a plat­inum watch and gold cuf­flinks. At the same time, a man can wear no more than 3 acces­sories. If there is a wed­ding ring, then the signet ring should be put on the oth­er hand.
