💍 How to create a bespoke signet ringUpdated 4 months ago

We offer bespoke signet rings engraved with designs that are personally illustrated and traditionally engraved — perfect to mark a heritage, a name, or a meaningful symbol.


🖋️ Step 1: Commission a bespoke digital design

To begin, order a Bespoke Digital Design — this is the creative foundation of your signet ring.
It may be a heraldic crest, initials, or a symbolic monogram designed by our illustrator Lauren based on your story.

You’ll receive:

  • A hand-drawn black-and-white design, specifically composed with engraving in mind

  • One round of revisions included

  • A digital file ready for engraving

🤝 Step 2: Personal consultation

Once the design is completed, Lauren will contact you directly to:

  • Discuss your preferred ring shape (oval, cushion, round, etc.)

  • Define the metal (silver or gold), dimensions, and engraving style

  • Answer any questions about engraving, sizing, and wear

Every ring project is handled personally and thoughtfully to ensure a perfect result.


🔨 Traditional hand engraving in Paris

We collaborate with a master engraver in Paris, officially named Meilleur Ouvrier de France — one of the highest honors for artisans in France.
Your design will be engraved by hand, using time-honoured techniques for precision and elegance.

This process guarantees a true signet ring, with a depth and detail unmatched by laser engraving.


💶 Pricing & timing

Signet rings are made on request, and pricing depends on:

  • The metal (silver, 9k, 18k gold)

  • The engraving complexity

  • The size and shape of the ring

👉 Please contact us at [email protected] to discuss your project and receive a detailed quote.

Allow approximately 6 to 8 weeks from design approval to final delivery.
