  • As all of our Sken Studios rings are made to order, it’s important to ensure you measure your finger correctly. If you don’t know your ring size, we sell easy to use, re-usable ring sizers to help you find the correct size. When measuring your ring size ensure your fingers aren’t too hot or cold as this will impact the sizing.

  • Our gold plated signets all have a thick layer of 24ct gold plating, which is to Vermeil standard. Our Signets are plated to 3-4 micron thickness.

    Gold plated jewellery is a much more affordable alternative to solid gold jewellery, however it won’t last forever. If it wears away over time, your jewellery can be re-polished and plated to restore them to their original state.

    To find out more about caring for your gold-plated signets go to our care instructions page.

  • All of your Sken Studios jewellery is made by hand in our Manchester studio. Due to the nature of handmade, there may be minor differences between pieces, which make each piece unique.

  • At Sken Studios, we try to do what we can for the planet. The Silver and Gold we use is made from recycled materials, which have been melted down and repurposed. Our jewellery is both made by hand in our Manchester studio, and cast locally, then finished by hand in our studio.
