I was never a jewellery guy, that was until I got my first gold signet from Maria Black. A simple gold piece that slotted perfectly onto my right index finger and has barely left it since. Founded in Copenhagen in 2010, Black makes cool, elegant, fun, jewellery that can be worn by women and men. It’s the kind of brand where you can buy a gold ring that says ‘Dad’ on it, or a simple sterling silver band. The prices denote quality without making you yell “AH!” It’s jewellery that makes you feel good. Over several years, my signet ring has been scuffed and scratched, and become moulded to the shape of my bony finger. Now that I’m a jewellery guy, it feels like an intrinsic part of my outfit and my routine; a simple gold signet that I couldn’t be without.
