Gemstones for signet rings<\/h1>\n

What is your favourite colour?<\/h2>\n

A wide variety of gemstones can be chosen for the hand-engraved and hand-set signet rings. Lapis lazuli, carnelian, bloodstone and onyx are the classic gemstones used.<\/p>\n

The layer stone has two layers of colour, which create beautiful contrasts when engraved. Layered onyx is the absolute classic. If you prefer it in one colour, then you have a choice of table stones and faceted gemstones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Layered gemstones – refined complexity<\/h2>\n

The engraving of the multi-layered gemstone exposes the lower, dark layer. This creates a special contrast that ideally accentuates the pattern of the hand engraving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The so-called niccolo is available in two different shades of blue: this allows you to choose whether the contrast with the black layer underneath is subtle or more intense when engraved.<\/p>\n

When engraved, the carnelian onyx reveals a rust-red base underneath the ros\u00e9-coloured, visible layer – so your engraving comes across delicately and clearly at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Monochrome gemstones – discreet eye-catcher<\/h2>\n

The single coloured stones draw the focus to the fine lines of the engraving and create a charming effect of depth with light and shadow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Casual, stylish, classic – the black onyx elegantly complements any statement piece. For a discreetly versatile yet expressive basis for hand engraving.<\/p>\n

The warm shade of forest green of bloodstone (also known as heliotrope) complements all shades of gold as well as platinum. Tiny red inclusions provide a particularly refined play of colours and individuality.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most regal variety among the seal stones is lapis lazuli. The deep royal blue colour, peppered with very fine gold-coloured pyrite inclusions, has a timeless and noble effect.<\/p>\n

The colour spectrum of carnelian ranges from warm yellow to orange to classic red and brownish wine red. For our signet rings we like to use a fiery red, which is slightly translucent and provides the ideal basis for a refined look of the engraving.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Transparent gemstones – fascinating elegance<\/h2>\n

The engraving of gemstones in the so-called bufftop cut – curved faceted at the bottom, smooth on the surface – has an almost hypnotic effect. The light is reflected in many ways and enters into an enchanting symbiosis with the coloured transparency and your individual engraving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
