Engraved Gemstone Signet Rings
Hand-engraved carnelian, sardonyx, agate and bloodstone rings. Made to order.
A gemstone signet ring is engraved directly into the stone, in the traditional way of an heraldic seal. You can choose how your stone is engraved. Engraved for seal, the design is cut in reverse, so it prints the right way round in wax. Engraved for show, the design reads correctly on the ring itself, so a motto or lettering can be read as the ring is worn. Each ring is a bespoke commission, made on any signet ring head size and shape, in gold, silver or platinum. See the shapes and sizes in choosing your signet ring.
Our senior master craftsman William Wright has 50 years' experience as a heraldic seal engraver on gold and gemstone rings, and engraves gemstone rings full time. His son Simon, head engraver and managing director of Dexter Rings Ltd, has hand engraved signet rings for 30 years and concentrates mainly on precious metal.
Because of the technical complexity of gemstone engraving, we don't offer a buy-now service. Each ring is quoted individually. Tell us what you would like engraved, your preferred stone and metal, the head size and where you are in the world, and we will send you a gemstone signet ring quotation. If you would prefer to buy today, see our full gold signet ring range.
Opaque gemstones are supplied set within closed back rings. For translucent stones, like carnelian, we recommend open back mounts in the traditional style, which allow the light to pass through, complementing the natural beauty of the stone and the detail of the engraving.
