Why does King Charles wear a wedding and signet ring on his pinky finger?
All eyes may usually be on the engagement rings of the female members of the royal family, butchoice of jewellery has us intrigued. While he bucks the trend of most of the male royals in choosing to wear a wedding band at all, His Majesty also opts to wear the ring on his pinky finger .
The signet ring, which depicts the seal of the Prince of Wales, dates back 175 years and was last worn by Charles’ uncle, Prince Edward, the Duke of Windsor. Signet rings were traditionally worn to imprint the seal in hot wax on letter or documents, but more recently depict social status.
