Which finger is a signet ring worn on?

It is traditionally worn on the pinky, but many people wear it on the ring or index finger, so sizing should match the chosen finger.

Should the engraving be deep or shallow?

Deep engraving shows more detail and can press an impression into wax, while laser engraving is finer and suits simple initials or symbols.
