Among the materials of the funerary monuments of the Tomsk-Narym Ob river area of the 16th – 18th centuries, the signet ring is one of the most common finds. To date, a substantial collection of objects of this category has been accumulated in museum collections in the city of Tomsk. Much of the rings have been published. However, special studies on these findings have not been carried out. It should be noted that in the designated region, the rings were used not only as fingers’ decoration, but also as part of the hairstyle, chest suspension, belt element. Most of all the rings are represented in the materials of the Koziulinsky barrow burial located in the lower reaches of the Tom river and the Putyak groundwater repository, located in the middle of the Ket river. The article presents the results of a qualitative analysis of metal shielded signet rings (11 units), which originate from these two sites. Studies have been undertaken at Altai State University (Barnaul) with the use of the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The demonstrated results indicate the presence of the following types of alloys: copper-zinc-lead-tin, copper-zinc-lead, copper-zinc, coppertin-zinc-lead, copper-tin-lead, copper-lead-tin.
