The MARLOWE takes the signet and turns it on its side. An elongated cushion-cut diamond sits flush in satin-finished gold, set low enough to read as part of the surface rather than an addition to it.

The east-west orientation softens the signet's usual weight. What's left is quieter and more sculptural: a ring that reads as an engagement ring from one angle and a signet from another. Unisex, understated, made to be worn every day.
