John W. Thompson & Son are master seal engravers

A Seal is an engraving of your family crest or coat of arms, which is deeply engraved in reverse. We will carve your crest or coat of arms onto your desired Signet Ring, creating a negative. From this we can then create a positive three dimensional impression in a wax Seal. Seals are always engraved in reverse. This is the traditional way, so that the wax impression comes out positive when stamped.

Seal engraving is deeper than traditional engraving – making the carving much more defined and detailed. We supply your wax impression with each of our seal engraved rings.

At John W. Thompson & Son we can Seal Engrave platinum, yellow, rose and white gold Signet Rings. Using the purest stamped gold enables us to achieve the highest level of detail.

Seal Engraved Signet Rings are extremely popular even today. Although they are rarely used for impressing wax onto a document, they are worn by family members wishing to proudly wear their heritage and family history.
