The gold signet. What for?

Since ancient times, the gold seal was considered a symbol of power, prosperity and power. Not all of them were worn. It was the privilege of kings, queens, warlords, shamans and other people who have power. The pens were worn not only by men, but also by women. They were mainly needed to seal the letters. From here it's a piece of jewelry and got its name.

The envelope with the message was filled with sealing wax, and the imprint of the signet of the king or another person having power was put on top. Without an impression from the seal, the document sent in the envelope was considered to be legally invalid. These accessories played the role of modern facsimiles and were inherited from generation to generation. The transfer was stipulated in the will.

At the present time, the gold seal has ceased to bear such a semantic load and has become only a part of the image for men, which in the completed version is supplemented with a gold wedding ring. For women, it's just a beautiful accessory.

The modern gold seal looks much simpler: it's just a large ring that has a certain impression, adorned with precious stones. In the old days, the stones in the ring were not set in - it was impractical.

Ancient seals, unlike most modern analogues, had a non-convex, but a dented pattern, so that the print was embossed and could not be faked. Now it has ceased to matter. Previously, the gold print was worn only on the little finger, but nowadays it is worn on any finger, not paying attention to the tradition.

Men's gold prints, unlike women's, are more massive and ascetic. At the same time, drawing on a woman's jewelry can be more gentle and speaking, although most women do not accept this accessory at all and consider it too rude in any performance.

Seal of the Pope - this is the most famous male decoration of the present, it is called "The Fisherman's Signet". It depicts Peter, throwing a net from the boat. If the Pope dies, the decoration must be destroyed.

At all times, seals were given a special mysterious meaning. It was believed that their possessor is endowed with a certain magical power. This was believed by Freemasons, Hitler, Pushkin, and many emperors. Seal was considered not only a symbol of power, but also a talisman that kept its owner. There is an opinion that Pushkin's poem "Keep me, my talisman" was dedicated to the print that Elizaveta Vorontsova gave him.

According to psychologists, on the basis of the finger on which a man wears a signet, one can judge his temperament. If a man wears an ornament on a pinky - he is a creative person, on a ring finger - he clearly observes and honors family traditions, on the average - believes that he is handsome and attractive, for the index - he has power over people, and on the big one - he has Sexuality.

Times change, but gold prints will remain the best decoration for a man's hand. The photos of these accessories once again make sure that they are massive and at the same time elegant. For yourself or as a gift, you can always pick up exactly what corresponds to the person's nature.
