What is an emblem ring and why is it currently so popular with guys?

Is the emblem ring truly this season's hottest menswear accessory? It is after all, a perennial favvourite of fashion labels like Versace.

You have probably read about Malaysian personality Wak Doyok getting into trouble for commissioning a particular design of an emblem ring. The specifics of what he did aside, the emblem ring is indeed a big part of the menswear trend for Spring/Summer 2020.

The emblem ring (otherwise also known as the signet ring) is simply a flashy version of your everyday ring. It sports a symbol, crest or initial at the top, which back in ancient Rome or Greece was used to stamp the wax seal of important documents.
