Recognition recognisable battlefield signet ring rings engraving

In addition to the elements and characters in the coat of arms, the colours used are decisive for the recognition of the coat of arms. Just like a coat of arms was recognisable on a shield on the battlefield. This is where the expression "follow suit" comes from. In a painting or banner colours are clearly visible, but no colours can be applied to a signet ring. The solution used for signet rings is to work with hatching in the engraving - provided that there is space for that in the engraving. Each hatching represents a different colour.
