Initially, I would have started to describe the slang word that is used to identify an immature swan but since is under business and finance I decided to proceed as follows.

Typically a signet is a seal that is used to authenticate a document. Usually these seals were attached to a ring or necklace. This practice was initially done through the use of warm wax where the "seal" and/or signet was impressed upon it to seal it and prove its authenticity.
