The main differences between 9ct gold signet rings and 18ct gold signet rings are gold content, color, durability, and price:
- Gold Content: 9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold, while 18ct contains 75% pure gold.
- Color: 18ct gold has a richer, more intense gold color compared to the lighter tone of 9ct gold.
- Durability: 9ct gold is harder and more resistant to scratches due to its higher alloy content, making it suitable for everyday wear.
- Price: 18ct signet rings are typically more expensive due to their higher gold content.
Both options make excellent signet rings, with 9ct being popular for everyday wear and 18ct preferred for special occasions or as investment pieces.
Traditionally, men's signet rings are worn on the pinky finger (little finger) of the non-dominant hand. In British tradition, this is typically the left hand for right-handed individuals. This placement has historical significance, as it allowed the ring to be easily used for wax sealing while keeping the dominant hand free.
However, modern conventions are more flexible. Some men choose to wear signet rings on the ring finger of their right hand, particularly in continental European traditions. Others may wear them on the middle finger for a more contemporary look. Ultimately, the choice is personal and should reflect your comfort and style preferences.
