I don't see anything wrong with signet rings. There's nice ones and not nice ones.

Find one that suits your hand, as with anything, and you'll be fine.

And don't give a stuff what anyone else thinks about your jewellery. It's yours. Noone else's.

I say that as a jeweller and purveyor of good taste Wink

Our "family crest" has 3 cut off heads dripping with blood on it! Lovely, eh? :o

mrscumberbatch · 17/12/2013 01:51

You're such a goth Schro!

SchroSawMummyRidingSantaClaus · 17/12/2013 01:56

I know! :o

Bloody heads on a mouse pad!

Shock

Wow.

I'm actually lost for words. That's probably the worst coat of arms I've ever seen. Congratulations?!

Mine is a raincloud. I'm basically a care bear.

SchroSawMummyRidingSantaClaus · 17/12/2013 02:01

It definitely is the worst coat of arms (I hope you can't get much worse than that anyway!) Wiki says there is also a stripped skull and leg bones on it as well but I can't see them? Confused

Jealous of your raincloud one, that actually sounds pretty. :(

My Grandad wore one. He was upper middle class. I'm lower middle class, however.

That is....individual, Schro. But as it's currently unavailable, there's must have been a run on them from somewhere.

We have a family crest. Me and my sisters all wear signet rings with it on. It comes from my maternal grandfather's side of the family, who were Irish. Maternal grandfather was upper middle class. I'm working class.

RonaldMcDonald · 17/12/2013 14:38

I had one. I think it depends on you as a person. I wasn't even be arsed to wear my wedding and engagement rings when i was married..so the signet thing really is old.
I got mine when i was 21 as all the women in the family did

Damnautocorrect · 17/12/2013 18:32

Oh oh oh My maternal side have a tartan, can I jump on the band wagon wear it?

Gatekeeper · 17/12/2013 18:56
