Selecting a custom signet ring can be an exciting and rewarding process. Signet rings are a meaningful way of expressing your individuality, uniting your family, or as a modern heirloom to treasure for generations. 

There are several options to consider when designing your personalised piece, including the face shape of your signet ring. 

1. Cushion
A classic option characterised by it's soft corners, this face shape works well for most engraving types. It is the most popular face shape selected by customers of Benjamin Black, due to its timeless aesthetic. 

2. Square
A square shaped face is a contemporary option for those people wanting a sleek modern piece with clean lines. This shape works well for those people wanting a statement piece. It's a great choice for more elaborate shoulder engravings, as the wider shoulders allow for more detail. 

3. Oval 
The Portrait Oval shape is an excellent choice for crests, monograms, logos or symbols that have more vertical length. It is also a popular selection for people wanting a stylish modern keepsake. 

4. Round
A fantastic modern shape that works well with most engraving designs, and is popular amongst both men and women. 

5. Shield
A statement shaped in itself, this is the perfect selection for bigger hands and is ideal for setting gemstones. The shield-shaped top has an old English aesthetic, which makes for an impressive signet ring choice.
