The signet ring was originally used to seal documents. Liquid wax had to be dripped onto the documents to be sealed and the seal ring pressed into the still soft wax. In the Middle Ages and antiquity, such a ring was generally reserved for the upper class and a symbol of its authority or power. Each middle-class family later had its own seal.
