A Unique Ring Making Experience
Congratulations on deciding to purchase a signet ring, you’re at the right place. Making your ring is easy with our bespoke online ordering system. All you need to do is jump to our shop and follow the steps.
Once your ring is paid for, we can start to bring your ring to life with an artwork proof of your design for you to review before the engraving begins.
We can make your ring from yellow, white or red gold, platinum, or sterling silver. The choice is yours and comes down to personal preference. Just keep in mind that each metal wears differently. Generally speaking, the higher carat metals are richer in colour and more hard-wearing.
You can also choose the type of engraving you would like. We offer surface or recess laser engraving, 2D hand engraving and wax seal engraving. Laser engraving is the most popular as it provides a precise finish. 2D hand surface engraving is done by hand to produce a more organic look.
Wax seal engraving is the traditional type of deep engraving whereby the design is hand engraved in reverse by our master engraver to create a ring that can be used as a wax seal.
If you would like to add stones to your ring, we cater to this option too. You can choose from a number of beautiful, quality stones including diamonds, rubies, peridot and tanzanite to name but a few. As is the case with the metal, your choice of stone comes down to personal preference and sentiment. Simply select the stone of your choice in your online order, and we will include it in your ring.
Once the design has been approved, the engraving process will begin. Please note: the engraving fee includes two design changes.
A custom signet ring typically takes between two to three weeks to create. Our design team will keep you in the loop throughout the process, and if at any time you have any questions, you can call us on +64 3 56 9137 or email us on studio@benjaminblack.co.nz. Whatever your preference, we will accommodate you. Remember, your ring is a blank canvas so take this opportunity to really make it your own.
Which Ring Shape Should I Choose?
Your ring is a reflection of who you are. We offer a variety of shapes to suit every personality and style. The most important thing to consider when choosing a shape is to select something that will best display the engraving of your choice.
Cushion
Square with soft corners. Cushion shape signet rings were fashionable during the Victorian era and remain a popular choice today
Oval
Oval is arguably the most traditional and popular choice for signet rings. Depending on your preferences and requirements, the orientation can be portrait or landscape
Round
A more contemporary choice, a circle shape is easy-to-wear and works well with most styles. If you’re after something tasteful and subtle, this is the ring shape for you.
Square
Bold and distinctive, square shape signet rings are ideal for those who want to make a statement.
Shield
Classic meets vintage. This shape is well suited to family crests and traditional designs.
Whatever meaning you attach to your signet ring, we'll help you create a ring that will be treasured for years to come.
