Wunden. From the Old English for twisted, interwoven. A word used in Beowulf and Anglo-Saxon literature to describe the braiding of precious metals with exceptional skill. This ring carries that word into the present.

The Wunden signet ring is the second piece in Andrew Geoghegan's Treowth collection, born from the discovery of an Anglo-Saxon gold relic found on a metal detecting trip with his son Arthur. Goldwin, the first inspiration, interpreted that find as rhythm and movement. Wunden turns inward, into identity, mark, and private meaning.

Wunden II is the broader of two proportions. Its signet face measures 9.7 × 13mm: substantial in scale, commanding in presence. Some would call it a men's silver signet ring, and on a man's hand it reads exactly that way. We stop short of the label, because it is worn just as naturally by women who favour weight and confidence over delicacy.

For the lighter proportion with a quieter presence, see the Treowth Wunden I Silver Signet Ring →

Two stories. One ring.

Your visible story sits on the signet face. A hand-engraved mark chosen by you: a Rune from the Old English symbols, two initials in either the classic Andrew Geoghegan style or a bespoke arrangement, or a blank face left to speak for itself.

The private story rests beneath. A precious stone set under the signet, so close to the finger, invisible when worn, known only to you. Some choose their favourite colour, others choose a colour that means something. Some mark a moment only they need to understand.

Please enquire for stones not within the options.

Engraving options

  • Blank face. Clean, unmarked, and quietly authoritative.
  • Rune. One of six marks from the Old English Futhorc, hand-engraved by our master engraver. Choose your Rune below.
  • Initials. Two letters, hand-engraved in the classic Andrew Geoghegan style. If you would prefer a bespoke arrangement, add the bespoke monogram styling and we will finalise the design with you before your ring is made.

Considering bespoke engraving? Choose the Bespoke option and describe your idea in the box. Andrew will review it with the workshop and quote the engraving separately before any additional work begins. As a guide, bespoke engraving usually starts from around £150 for simple dates or symbols, and can rise to around £500 for more detailed artwork depending on complexity.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the Wunden signet face?

The signet face measures 9.7 × 13mm on Wunden II, the broader of the two proportions. Wunden I is lighter at 8.5 × 11.5mm. Both suit women and men, and both carry the same twisted form, engraving options and hidden stone detail.

Is Wunden a men's or women's ring?

Both. Wunden II is the broader Wunden proportion, with more weight and presence on the hand. It works especially well for those looking for a substantial silver signet ring, including men who may not previously have seen Andrew Geoghegan as a jewellery house for them.

Can I have the signet face engraved?

Yes. Choose a Rune from the Old English Futhorc, two initials in the classic Andrew Geoghegan style, or leave the face blank. Every mark is hand-engraved in Britain by our master engraver. If you would like a bespoke monogram, we finalise the design with you before the ring is made.

Can I request bespoke engraving?

Yes. The launch options are a hand-engraved Rune, initials, a blank face, or Bespoke. For something more personal, choose the Bespoke option and describe your idea in the box. Bespoke engraving is quoted separately after review, and no additional engraving cost is added without your approval. As a guide, simple dates or symbols usually start from around £150, while more detailed artwork may be around £500 depending on complexity.

What are the six Wunden runes?

The six runes are Protection (Eolh), Courage (Tir), Journey (Rad), Endurance (Nyd), Joy (Wynn) and Legacy (Ethel). Each is drawn from the Old English Futhorc, the runic symbols used in Anglo-Saxon Britain. You choose one when you select Rune engraving.

What is the secret stone?

A precious stone set beneath the signet face, close to the finger, so it is hidden when worn and does not change the outward appearance of the ring. Choose from ten stones: diamond, blue sapphire, ruby, tsavorite, pink sapphire, orange sapphire, yellow sapphire, amethyst, black diamond or cognac diamond. Or leave the underside plain. Some choose a favourite colour, others a colour that means something only to them. Other stones are available on request.

What is the ring made of?

Every Treowth Wunden ring is crafted in 925 silver and rhodium plated for a bright white finish that helps resist tarnish. Each ring is independently hallmarked and finished in Britain. Wunden is also available in gold and platinum on request.

What ring sizes are available?

Wunden is made in sizes H to Z+2, covering a wide range of fingers for women and men. If you are unsure of your size, use our ring size guide, or contact us and we will help you measure correctly before your ring is made.

How long does a Wunden ring take to make?

Each ring is made to order in 4 to 6 weeks. Because every Wunden is hand-engraved and set for you, it is not held in stock. We will keep you updated through making, and let you know as soon as your ring is ready.

Can the ring be resized?

Each Wunden has a sizing strip at the back of the shank, which allows the ring to be resized within a limited range after purchase. The exact adjustment depends on the ring size and the work required. Resizing is chargeable, so we strongly recommend confirming your size before the ring is made. If you are unsure, contact us and we will help.

How do I care for a rhodium-plated silver ring?

Wunden is rhodium plated to give the silver a bright white finish and help resist tarnish. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive polishing cloths and heavy knocks. Clean it gently with a soft cloth. Over time, rhodium plating can naturally wear and may be renewed if required.

Can I return a personalised Wunden ring?

Because each Wunden is made to order and personalised for you, it is not eligible for return or exchange as standard, in line with our returns policy. This is why we ask you to confirm your size, engraving and stone choice before ordering, and we are glad to help you do that. If a ring ever arrives with a manufacturing fault, contact us and we will put it right.
