Signet Rings
A signet ring is a ring with a flat plate on the shoulder — historically a surface that carried a seal. The STRUGA signet is neither a heraldic crest nor a gold ring: it is an architectural object — heavy 925 sterling silver, the plate read as form, not ornament.

What is a signet ring?
A signet ring is a ring with a flat or slightly domed plate on the shoulder. The plate was once a working surface — a seal was cut into it and pressed into wax. STRUGA keeps the plate but reads it as architecture: a plane, an edge, mass — no crest, no gloss.
On which finger do you wear a signet ring?
Traditionally the little finger, but there is no rule. STRUGA does not assign jewelry by gender or finger — size and width are built to the hand. A signet's mass sits well on the pinky or ring finger; choose by fit and by how the plate reads on your hand.
What does wearing a signet ring mean?
Historically the signet carried identity — a seal pressed a person's mark into wax. STRUGA reads that meaning through form, not heraldry: the plate is a surface you can leave blank or engrave. The object carries weight because of what it is, not a promise attached to it.
How much should a silver signet ring cost?
A solid 925 sterling silver signet is priced by mass and making, not by a crest. STRUGA signets are the heaviest rings in the line — 10 to 24 grams of silver — handcrafted on Bali. Exact prices sit on each product page; the range starts where the metal and the work begin.
A signet ring is not a massive ring
A signet centres on a flat plate; a massive ring is about volume without a required plate. At STRUGA, signets live in the BRUTALISM and THORN families, massive rings in FUSED and SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC. The signet gathers mass into one plane — the plate.
STRUGA signet and the classic gold signet
A classic signet is gold, 5–10 grams, a family crest or a polished plate for engraving. A STRUGA signet is 925 sterling silver, 10–24 grams, BRUTALISM architecture with a Living Silver or oxidized surface. Two languages for one form. As of 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Is a STRUGA signet ring a crest ring?
No. STRUGA reads the signet as architecture, not heraldry. The plate is a plane and an edge, not a slot for a family crest. Any relief or cut is part of the form, not a personal code — the ring speaks through shape, not symbol.
Is 925 silver real silver?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, the international standard. STRUGA makes its signets entirely from it, left unplated as Living Silver, so the surface darkens and lives with wear.
Can a STRUGA signet ring be engraved?
Yes, on request. The historic signet was a surface for a mark; STRUGA carries engraving onto the flat plate. A design or initials are arranged individually. Custom requests add a few weeks to production.
Is the STRUGA signet ring gold?
No. STRUGA works in 925 sterling silver — the base of the brand. Signets are made in silver with a Living Silver or oxidized surface; gold is not used as the signet material.
