In all my years of wearing this ring, I had never noticed that. Thanks!

Shangas said:If I could, I'd love a signet-ring with my initials engraved into it in reverse, so I could use it as a sealing-stamp...which was one of the original purposes of the signet-ring (Signet - sign - signature, etc).

John in Covina said:This did bring to mind a great scetch on Saturday Night Live with Joe Pesci that plays a whole Mafia scene trying on rings at a shop called "The Pinky Ringery" it maybe on youtube, it was very funny.
In general I don't wear rings, I don't want to damage them accidentally. Every ring I've worn always gets scratched and nicked up pretty quick, I chip the stone, etc.
Max Flash said:I currently wear a gold signet ring on my left pinky, with a very distinctive family crest engraving. I would like to wear a ring on my other hand as well, until I marry, when I will transfer the signet ring to my right hand and wear a wedding band on my left, in the continental tradition (unlike Prince Charles who, as an Englishman who wears a wedding ring (traditionally, Englishmen did not wear wedding rings), wears both the wedding band and signet ring on his left hand).
However, I find my options limited. Another signet ring would look strange, and while I would love an American-style college ring, these are not available for English universities. Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe something with a stone (possibly lapis) that can be worn on the ring finger of my right hand. Or are two rings too much?
