| Why Me? Signet Ring: Choose this if you want a statement signet ring with character: a round face engraved with a pondering tiger and the words WHY and ME?, plus a hand-set red garnet, from Tom Wood's Reflections capsule with tattooist Guy Le Tatooer. It's made of 925 sterling silver with recycled white rhodium plating in a polished finish with black antiquing, in a slim 6 mm top plate and 4 mm band, offered in X-SMALL, SMALL, and MEDIUM silver variants. Note the care needs: avoid soap, perfume, chemicals, and exercise while wearing it to protect the finish.[1,2] | Kim Ice Blue Signet Ring: Choose this if you are looking for a modern take on a classic signet ring, featuring an oval top plate holding an ovoid pectolite stone in fascinating shades of blue (c2, c3, c22). Crafted from recycled 925 silver and rhodium plating, the ring is noted for sitting very nicely on the fingers without feeling overly heavy or too large (c14, c16). Although it includes a signature storage box, some users have expressed a wish for the quality to meet the level of the brand's design (c17).[3,4,5] | Quilt Signet Ring: Choose this if you want a textural take on a classic signet: it's made of recycled 925 sterling silver with recycled white rhodium plating, with a woven, satin-finish quilt pattern, subtle black antiquing between the braided bands, and a 12 mm signet width. One commenter reported it sits nicely on the fingers with a balanced weight and great shape that doesn't envelop the hands or stand out too much, though that same commenter wished the quality were as good as the design. It comes in silver, in sizes from small through extra-large, with a signature storage box included.[4,6,7,8] |
