The Official Graduation Collaboration to reimagine the University Ring
Individually crafted to reflect your time at University. Each ring is designed to be as personal as the time you spent studying, blending individual accomplishment with the history of the institution.
The collections are official and have been developed in close collaboration with the universities we partner with to ensure that every item ordered raises money for the university.
All rings are custom-made to ensure the perfect fit for the wearer and are only made from precious metals to ensure they last a lifetime or more. It take us about eight to nine weeks to finish a ring as the process is done entirely by hand.
The Band Ring
Clean, considered and with an engraving that evokes a life long story.
Fresh and understated and with an engraving inspired by carvings into sandstone, the band ring differentiates itself from the collection for its fusion of simpler aesthetic sources. A ring that renews a perennial design: it is simple, modern and discreet, and yet manages to distinguish and celebrate your achievement.

Combined with a subtle inside inscription these engravings will distil and honour your achievement.

The Signet Ring
Signet Rings, Reimagined - But Not Too Much. Our all-time best-seller an Annotated original design.
Few pieces of jewellery can match the history of the signet. Of all designs of ring, it has been the one that has been worn continuously and that has maintained its symbolic value. From its earliest days, when few could write and the seals they bore were a distinguishing mark essential for governance and business, it has continued to endure. And in each age the signet has been reinterpreted; through the middle ages when heraldic shields and coats of arms were introduced, and on into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when they became a symbol of gentlemanly ascensions to fortune by sword and wit and were venerated as heirlooms, to more recent reinterpretations when the signet has come to symbolise present-day moments of celebration and achievement.
Our signet design is firmly woven into these traditions. It stands above seasons and trends and continues to complement any occasion and style. In the spirit of our own times, our Graduation signet is simple, limiting the inscription to the bezel around the shield and the option of two discreet side panels referencing your degree on each shoulder of the ring. Utmost it has been designed to be beautiful and clearly express your achievement.
Available in over 10 different combinations:
1_ Choose from four metals
2_Optional side panels feature degree initials and year of graduation
3_Engrave on the inside with a complimentary inside engraving
4_Choose from a range of optional bespoke options such as black rhodium plating or having a diamond set
The Imperial Ring
Bold - and Just a Little Irreverent. Designed around a birthstone or gem that represents the University's colours
The history of the imperial ring dates back to the Roman times when it was used as a mark of honour and distinction. Unlike the signet, the imperial ring was always gold and set with a stone that had not been engraved. The shape of the ring, a circle reflecting endlessness, was also a sign of inviolable loyalty, and for centuries no ecclesiastical occasion was complete without the presence of the imperial ring.
Finally from the early 20th century, inspired by Art Deco and Modernism, the designs were revived and simplified: becoming more geometric, the lines clean and bold, the symbolism muted. So that eventually the rings themselves became valued for the meaning given them, not by interest groups, but by the individuals that wear them.
Our Imperial design, liberated from the rings traditional allusions, celebrates your achievement in the life and brilliance of the stone, while preserving the intrinsic qualities of its imposing classical shape, one recognizable to all generations.
The result it is a design that offers a rare fusion of colour and meaning.
