I have to say my signet ring is nowhere near as beautiful as some of the ones posted, just plain gold but I also have the seal so I could have one made.
My grandfather was most definitely one of my favourite people on this earth, he was a good man, kind, generous, funny, deeply philosophical (also Theosophical) and has left a long legacy of what matters. Most notably his work for the Leprosy Mission. I would be very keen to find more connections with his Indian roots. I know he had an emotional tie linked to his father being posted there in his years of army service, Altie and Miriam were married in Mumbai, formerly Bombay and I do have a copy of their wedding cert. I shall post that too. And perhaps it is that that drew him to giving so much of his life to visiting India annually for 2 months and working for the Leprosy Mission for 17 years.
I should somewhere have a photo too of Granny Olive, the much loved (by Ronnie anyhow) nanny.
