So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Evolution of Fashion: The History of the Signet Ring

By Bobbie Swenson


Signet rings have a long and illustrious history and figure prominently in a great deal of well known artwork and literature. The signet ring's original purposes of indicating rank and imprinting seals on important letters are no longer concerns in the modern western world, but the beauty of signet rings and their interesting background have kept them alive as stylish fashion accessories for men and women.

The variety of shapes, widths, and styles for the ring and the number of fonts from which to choose to create engravable signet rings allow you to personalize your gold signet ring in a number of ways not limited to your initials.

The most common types of signet rings currently worn are made from white or yellow gold and engraved with the initials or simply the first letter of the wearer's first name. They are becoming popular as wedding bands for women and men, and a white gold signet ring is also an excellent choice for modern women interested in the empowering contemporary trend of right hand rings, because nothing says individuality more than your own monogram or first initial on a beautiful, personalized 14k signet ring of your choosing.

The most common types of signet rings currently worn are made from white or yellow gold and engraved with the initials or simply the first letter of the wearer's first name.

In the Middle Ages, a man's ring was often engraved with the wearer's family coat of arms, and modern signet rings are designed to showcase the simplified modern day equivalent that serves the same purpose: the monogram. Mens white gold signet rings in more recent times have become a traditional gift for sons and other male relatives as eighteenth birthday gifts, or to present upon high school or college graduation.
