Yorkshire based W. Hamond recreate famous Dracula signet ring to celebrate festival
Yorkshire company, W. Hamond, has teamed up with the Bram Stoker International Film Festival, to hand craft a unique replica of the Dracula family crest signet ring as used in the Hammer Films Dracula productions, launching at the festival this year.
This officially licenced signet ring is seen prominently in the legendary and influential Hammer titles: ‘Dracula Has Risen from the Grave’ and ‘Scars of Dracula’. The star of these films, Christopher Lee, wore the signet ring on the little finger of his left hand throughout the titles. The piece is the must have accessory for anyone interested in the horror genre, vampires, or even simply Whitby’s illustrious heritage, perfect to be worn regularly or even as a collector’s item or memento of this unforgettable festival.

Hamond will be decorating their shops in line with the festival theme. The signet ring has been hand crafted from silver and is made to order exclusively from W.
