Really liking this video on signet rings. My ring is a custom ring made of yellow and white gold of both my grad schools Bucks and Liverpool to commemorate the accomplishment of higher learning.
No mention of university/class/fraternity rings in the discussion of signet rings? On another channel I learned that class rings were a type of signet ring. Probably in the US you will see more of this type of signet ring than the others that you covered. These rings have separate rules, e.g., turned one way as an undergraduate, turned around on graduation. Not a UK thing? Some schools have traditionally put the wedding ring inside, closer to heart, the class ring in a special mount that links the two rings. Others move class ring to other hand or not worn. Any thoughts on two rings on the same finger?
This is an interesting discussion. Over here in the us we really don't have signet rings. The main rings that we have for men are class rings, which are from high school or University or fraternity societies, the wedding ring and then "dress or costume" rings. The class rings look very similar to super bowl rings and are even more prominent if you played a sport in that school. So they really aren't mentioned much anymore, and even when I graduated school they were being pretty much phased out.
My great uncle who died young in the 1960s wore a signet ring on his pinkie finger. He was from a working class Welsh family so no crest. It was gold, no crest or initials, just square with a single small diamond off-centre
A most enlightening video on a topic of men's style that rarely gets spoken of. My late father never wore any rings; nor do I. Our use of jewellery has been confined to the practicality of a wrist watch. Chris's two small rings have quiet sophistication about them. Too many can detract from the aesthetic of an otherwise well put together sartorial appearance. Matthew, like Chris, was smartly turned out, including a well chosen Rampley & Co tie and pocket square... but my eyes were constantly being drawn to the excessive adornments on his fingers. Sorry, that is just my personal opinion.
That's a big miss with silver, there is no more beautiful pure white in jewelry than pure silver. And when well rolled and welded instead of soldered will keep the strength and will not tarnish like sterling. Regarding non precious, coral (black and red) are probably more beautiful than most stones in those two colors.
That is one big-ass man ring dude's rocking! 🤣

Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Men have looked to the Duke of Windsor for menswear guidance for many years. But modern men can look to the Duke of Modoo!
Ha ha….thank you
Good video. I have rings in each primary color to wear based on my outfit, makes for some variation
Thanks for sharing.
I’d like some variation for different outfits.
Love that!

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's interesting to hear about the different ring traditions.
Even at their peak, most stopped wearing them after graduation from HS or college.
Hi Chris I’m a subscriber; looking forward to my style consultation! Thanks for another interesting video.

Thanks for sharing.
Is the ring still in the family?
A great topic 🥂. I should get a ring with my outline… also a demigod.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed making it with Matthew.

Professional bubbles😂
Interesting stuff, but I absolutely hate that giant ring he's wearing.
Same opinion, but it's a matter of taste, if it was me, I would wear everything exactly as he did (I like the tie pin), except the big ring.
Mrs Wildsmith agrees with you both, she hates it 🙈
