Does wearing a signet ring mean you're posh

[pumpkinnut]

So I've got feelings for one of my colleagues and I was speaking to my friend and mentioned how he wears a signet ring. Friend said I bet he's posh. It this true? I admit I don't really know anyone else in my life who wears one but I just wonder whether it's common to wear one. By the way there's nothing wrong with being posh, I'm not bothered if they are or they are not.

It's just a ring

Definitely not posh.

I’d say the opposite.

The opposite tbh.

Far more markers to someone being posh than a signet ring! The only people I know who wear one are either a) proper posh (estates, inheritance etc) or b) trying to appear posh.
But for what it’s worth, if you’re not sure - then he’s probably not. If you like him, it doesn’t matter.

Del boy wore one didn't he?

No, it means you want people to think you're posh.

I thought signet rings where chavey

Depends if it says Elizabeth Duke on the box...

it means he likes the ring..

nothing else 🙄

I've worked with some men who went to private school & they all wear a signet on their pinky. I think it's a status and symbolises family heritage, wealth etc.

When I was young it was said it meant they were gay. No idea if that's true, probably not I'd guess, but perhaps your friend heard the same and that's why she mentioned it?

I’d say opposite too. A few decades ago maybe it was more upper class but these days I’d definitely see it as tacky and chavvy, sorry.

Yes I think it's for pricks who want you to think they're higher status etc..

It means nothing more than him liking the ring

It’s very 80s

When I was at uni, all the posh boys wore them. I mean really posh, lots of money from country estatea etc.

think they're higher status etc..

Really? 😂

I don’t think it means anything.

It can do. I used to work in finance and the 'old boys' brigade from Harrow etc. did indeed wear stupid little signet rings on their pinky. It is a marker.

There's another kind of chavy ring (sovereign?! Can't remember) that is the opposite of posh. Worn on middle or index finger I think.

Depends if he bought it or inherited it really. And then if the person he inherited it from also inherited it

My DH wears his dad's old one as a wedding ring. They're not posh.

If it's been bought for them, usually posh. If they've bought it themselves, usually not. In my experience anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does it have his family crest on it? That’s the difference between Argos jewellery and posh.

He wears it on his pinky
