Tate silver signet ring

A classic, solid silver signet ring; proudly designed, cast, hand-polished and hallmarked all within five miles of Tate Modern, by London jeweller Ferian. Inspired by vintage jewellery, the face of the signet ring bears five hallmarks, with our own official Tate hallmark to the side of its band.

Rounded, hand-polished smooth surfaces make the ring comfortable to wear, with a reassuring weight and solidity. Classical and timeless, it is made to be worn and shared by all genders.

The chunky signet ring has been exclusively designed for the Tate by London jeweller Ferian, whose name is engraved on the inside of the ring. Made in London, the ring is formed using the ancient technique of lost wax casting. The original artefact is cast in wax and its form replaced by molten sterling silver. After cooling, the piece is hand polished by one master craftsperson. Carefully positioned to suit the scale of the pieces, the bespoke hallmarks have the dual function of decoration and traceability, authenticating maker, year, and metal fineness. The hallmarks are engraved at the historic London Assay office who have guaranteed provenance and precious metals for over 700 years.

The seal ring is available in sizes K, M, P, and R. As a Ferian for Tate signet ring is a considered purchase, we recommend using a ring sizer to determine the right size for you.

Ferian was founded by designer Leonie Branston in 2017, and is operated from her North London garden studio and nearby workshop. Using an old English word that means to carry over water, Ferian jewellery is made by combining carefully chosen natural materials that remain timeless and grow more desirable as their character is expressed by generations of discerning ownership. The silver used for our Ferian for Tate collection is made from 80% recycled sources, and properly cared for, will last for many lifetimes.

Remove your jewellery when cleaning, bathing, sleeping and swimming. We recommend storing your jewellery in a box. Silver naturally oxidises adding character to your jewellery, however a gentle buff with silver polish and a soft cloth will restore the shine. Avoid collision with hard surfaces as this may cause dents and scratches.
