Known as the \u2018gentleman\u2019s ring\u2019, signet rings<\/a> – often handed down on 21st birthdays – traditionally act as visible reminders that the wearer comes from a certain bloodline or heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, signet rings are as much a fashion accessory than a status symbol. More on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who wears signet rings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all know the archetypal signet ring wearer. Take a walk through Parson’s Green on a Summer’s evening and chances are you will spot several hundred signet rings clinking on glasses of pale pink Proven\u00e7ale ros\u00e9. Worn by Princes, Sloanes and Chins far and wide, to many the signet ring indicates that the wearer is part of ‘the club’ – whatever that club may be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, more often than not, these signet rings end up at the bottom of the sea just off the coast of the South of France, or on the floor of a nightclub in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We feel this satirical music video sums up this type of signet ring wearer quite well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
