The signet ring is making a comeback after Brad Pitt continues to step out wearing one

Brad Pitt has been hitting the global promotional circuit for ‘Bullet Train’ breaking all red carpet rules and wowing fans.

Forget a tailored suit or stuffy tuxedo, the 58-year-old is shaking things up rocking everything from a linen look to a matching set with sneakers. 

But no matter what he puts on, one thing remains the same: his signet ring.

The 58-year-old is completing his ensembles with a very special piece of jewelry: the signet ring

The leading man’s latest look is perhaps his best

Originating from the Latin word ‘signum’ meaning ‘sign,’ the signet ring is rich in history and tradition. 

‘Medieval nobleman wore this style of ring to wax-seal envelopes and the signet, in turn, became a type of signature,’ shared Lee Tucker, Head of Merchandising, Marketing, and Creative Operations at David Yurman. 

Typically the bauble bore a family crest on its distinguishable flat bezel. The engraving or carving was deep enough to leave an impression in melted wax.

‘Today’s signets have that same personal value, a second-skin signifier of the wearer’s style and personality,’ said Lee.

For men hesitant to wear jewelry, Lee says ‘a signet ring is a great first purchase because it really is a piece you’ll never take off.’ In the last 12 months, the experts reveals that the category has seen 72% uptick in sales

Seems Brad may be inspiring the next menswear trend. 

In the last 12 months, Lee reveals that the category has seen a 72% uptick in sales. 

Guys can be a bit hesitant about wearing jewelry but the expert says ‘a signet ring is a great first purchase because it really is a piece you’ll never take off.’

Adding: ‘Men are gravitating to this classic style, especially when made modern through dramatic diamond pave, polished inlayed stone, or compelling symbolic motifs.’ 

Traditionally the piece is worn on the pinky finger of the non-dominant hand. 

But like everything else fashion related, Brad is making his own rules and wearing his David Yurman bauble – featuring a depiction of the ancient Greek “Bee of Ephesus” – on his ring finger.
