Signet rings, heavy bands, cufflinks and men’s chains in 925 sterling silver, brass and 316L stainless steel — with laser engraving and crest work in-house.
Men’s jewellery is a different product from women’s, not a recoloured version of it. The rings are heavier, the surfaces are flatter, the tolerances are tighter on the shank because a man’s ring has to survive being worn against a tool or a steering wheel. We produce signet rings, heavy bands, cufflinks and men’s chains in 925 sterling silver, brass and 316L stainless steel for brands and online sellers in the US, UK, Germany and Australia.
The two things our men’s buyers ask for most are engraving and weight. We do both in-house: fibre laser for flat crest work down to 0.8 mm character height, hand engraving for relief work, and black onyx or enamel inlay cut to fit the bezel rather than glued in as an afterthought.
Below are the men’s pieces currently in production, the constructions we run, and the specification range we hold to. Ring size in men’s styles runs larger than the women’s line — we hold US 8–13 in stock moulds and cut US 14–15 to order.
Every piece can be re-produced with your crest, initials or logo. Send vector artwork for engraving — we will tell you the minimum line weight before you commit to a design.
Four constructions cover most men’s enquiries. Weight and shank width are specified up front because they drive both the price and the wear experience.
Flat-top and cushion-top signets from 8×8 mm to 14×12 mm, 8 g to 16 g in silver. Faces are left flat for laser crest engraving or hand-cut for relief work; black onyx, enamel and synthetic stone inlays are cut to the bezel, not glued on top.
4 mm to 10 mm wide comfort-fit bands, plain, brushed, hammered or with a stone-set channel. Comfort-fit means the inside is radiused rather than flat, which is what stops the ring cutting into the finger on a heavier piece.
Round, square and oval cufflinks with a fixed or swivel back, bullseye, halo or crest faces, 8 g to 18 g per pair. The swivel mechanism is tested 500 cycles; a cufflink whose post will not rotate is the most common complaint in this category.
Curb, box, Franco and rope chain from 3 mm to 8 mm, with lobster or box clasps rated for the piece weight. Men’s chain is sold by length and by gram weight — tell us the target weight per metre and we will match it.
Men’s-specific tolerances. Shank width and finished weight are specified before quoting because they set both the metal cost and the tooling.

Men’s rings are priced by finished gram weight more than by labour. If you have a target retail price, give us the number and we will tell you which material and weight makes it work.
Engraving proofs are approved before casting — fixing a crest after the mould is cut costs more than the whole sample.
Send artwork for the crest or logo, the target ring size range, and the finished weight you want. All three affect the quote.
Costed BOM within one working day. Crest work gets a 3D model plus an engraving proof so you can see the line weight before tooling.
Cast, finish, engrave, inlay and plate. We send the sample with your crest engraved, not a blank face.
Casting and finishing run first; engraving and inlay are hand stages and are scheduled before the order is confirmed.
Weight check against spec, engraving legibility check, inlay adhesion test, then AQL 2.5 inspection and cartoning.
Artwork, ring size range and target weight — we return a quote and an engraving proof within two working days.
