Originating from the Latin word 'signum' meaning 'sign,' the signet ring is rich in history and tradition. 

'Medieval nobleman wore this style of ring to wax-seal envelopes and the signet, in turn, became a type of signature,' shared Lee Tucker, Head of Merchandising, Marketing, and Creative Operations at David Yurman. 

Typically the bauble bore a family crest on its distinguishable flat bezel. The engraving or carving was deep enough to leave an impression in melted wax.

'Today’s signets have that same personal value, a second-skin signifier of the wearer’s style and personality,' said Lee.

Seems Brad may be inspiring the next menswear trend. 

In the last 12 months, Lee reveals that the category has seen a 72% uptick in sales. 

Guys can be a bit hesitant about wearing jewelry but the expert says 'a signet ring is a great first purchase because it really is a piece you'll never take off.'

Adding: 'Men are gravitating to this classic style, especially when made modern through dramatic diamond pave, polished inlayed stone, or compelling symbolic motifs.' 

Traditionally the piece is worn on the pinky finger of the non-dominant hand. 

But like everything else fashion related, Brad is making his own rules and wearing his David Yurman bauble - featuring a depiction of the ancient Greek "Bee of Ephesus" - on his ring finger.
