Signet rings are a part of the history of Egyptian culture. Ancient Egyptian men wore cylindrical seals which served as signs of their authority. They hung from their arms or necks. Egyptian women wore several signet rings on finger. Signet rings in the Roman culture were made of different material and each material showed definite social status of the person. Military or civil people had the right to wear gold signet rings and the masses could wear only iron signet rings. Later due to the changes in the Roman culture slaves were allowed to wear signet rings made of iron, freed men wore silver signet rings and gold signet rings were available for freeborn citizens. In European countries people began to wear signet rings as a sign of a noble status.
