    I think that the university tie and the class ring are more comparable, the signet ring is a very personal thing and has very little to do with anyone else apart from the signet ring's owner and his family.

    Sorry, Jock, I meant it more in the sense that traditionally, a man wears his wedding ring on his left hand, and his signet on his right, so a class ring a different "right hand option". I wouldn't wear both a signet ring and a class ring at the same time.

    As most people are right handed the signet ring is worn on the left hand----that way the ring does not get in the way of writing and believe me, it does! Left handers usually wear the signet ring on the right hand for the same reason. There is no "right or wrong" hand as far as signet rings go.
