The Old Fashioned doesn't need your approval.

It was perfected in the 1880s, and in the 140 years since, every attempt to improve it has only proven the original was right. Whiskey, sugar, bitters, ice, and a single cherry on top. Done correctly, it needs nothing else—and nothing less.

This signet ring is for the man who understands that principle.

The Drink That Defines Standards

There's a reason it's called an Old Fashioned. The name itself is a middle finger to progress for progress's sake. When bartenders in the late 1800s started getting creative—adding this, muddling that, turning simple drinks into elaborate productions—there was a group of men who pushed back.

"Make it the old fashioned way," they'd say.

Not because they were stubborn. Because they knew what worked.

The Old Fashioned survived Prohibition, outlasted a thousand trendy cocktails, and remains the drink of choice for men who know themselves. It's what you order when you're not trying to impress anyone—when you've long since stopped performing and started simply being.

That's the energy we wanted to capture in this men's cocktail ring.

The Stone: Warmth You Can Wear

We selected an amber sapphire for the Old Fashioned ring because it had to do one thing perfectly: capture that amber glow. The color that catches light in a rocks glass. The warmth that suggests both refinement and approachability.

This isn't a flashy stone. It doesn't scream for attention. But when light hits it right—when you're reaching across a table, or gesturing while you talk, or simply resting your hand on a bar—it reveals its depth.

The stone was custom cut to our specifications. Not a standard cabochon or faceted stone, but something in between. Enough dimension to catch light. Enough smoothness to feel timeless. The kind of cut that looks like it could have existed a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now.

The Glass: Hand-Engraved Precision

Here's where three years of development paid off.

We needed the cocktail glass to feel authentic—not like a sketch or a suggestion, but like you could actually lift it and drink from it. That meant hand engraving every single detail: the weight of the glass base, the slight taper as it rises, the way light would refract through cut crystal.

The engraved glass cradles the amber stone—representing that perfect pour of whiskey over ice. And perched on top? A single deep red ruby. The cherry. Not the neon-red imposters from a jar, but the real thing. A Luxardo cherry. The finishing touch that separates the people who know from the people who guess.

Our engraver spent weeks getting the details right. The proportions of the glass. The way the stone sits within the engraved frame. The placement of that ruby cherry—small, intentional, essential.

When you look closely at your ring, you're not seeing a representation of a drink. You're seeing the drink.

Who This Ring Is For

This isn't the ring for the man still figuring things out.

It's for the man who's built something. Who's spent enough years in the arena to know what matters and what doesn't. Who's learned that "no" is a complete sentence. Who's realized that having standards isn't the same as being difficult—it's about respecting yourself enough to know what you want.

If you're still trying to please everyone, this isn't your ring yet.

If you've arrived at a place where you're comfortable being exactly who you are—unapologetically, without explanation—this is exactly your ring.

The Weight of Conviction

Cast in solid 14k gold, the Old Fashioned ring has real weight. Not in a cumbersome way, but in a way that reminds you it's there. The kind of weight that feels earned. That matches the weight of the decisions you've made to get where you are.

When you wear it, you feel it.

And that's the point.

This isn't jewelry that disappears on your hand. It's a statement that you've stopped apologizing for taking up space. That you've earned your place at the table and you're not giving it up for anyone.

Made Without Compromise

Each Old Fashioned ring takes 4-6 weeks to complete in our Los Angeles workshop.

You're not buying something that thousands of other people will have. You're commissioning a piece that will carry your story, age with your life, and eventually—if you've done things right—become the ring your son remembers on your hand.

Why It Matters Now

In a world that's constantly pushing you to upgrade, update, refresh, and reinvent, the Old Fashioned ring is a refusal.

A refusal to chase trends. A refusal to perform for an audience. A refusal to change something that's already right.

This is a men's signet ring for the man who's learned that consistency isn't boring—it's powerful. That knowing what you want isn't limiting—it's liberating. That being the same reliable presence in every room isn't a weakness—it's your signature.

The Old Fashioned has been the right choice for 140 years.

This ring will be the right choice for the rest of your life.

Order yours the old fashioned way: with confidence and without hesitation.
