Luxury fashion house Balenciaga creates three special chevalière signet rings -- all of which have been crafted in Italy. The three different colorway iterations exude a sense of opulence, with either silver or gold as the base foundation and an acetate trim to accent. The options include a silver ring with black acetate trimming, a gold ring with red acetate trimming, and another gold ring with a turquoise acetate trimming.
As a branding accent, the fashion house incorporates its own graphic through engraving methods on the large acetate face of each piece. The engraved details include the logo, '"Made in Italy," and "75005 Paris." The chevalière signet rings are now available to shop online at SSENSE.
