signets
Wax impression makers
Signets are small seals, typically set in rings, used to stamp an impression into wax or clay as a mark of authenticity or ownership.
A signet ring bears an engraved design—often a family crest or monogram—pressed into sealing wax to authenticate documents: The letter bore the king's signet.
The word is the singular signet made plural.
