| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Basis of preparation | Basis of preparation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026.

| Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of inventories, deferred revenue, employee compensation, income taxes, contingencies, leases, asset impairments for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived assets and the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets.
|
| Fiscal year | Fiscal year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31st. Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026 refer to the 52-week periods ending January 30, 2027 and ended January 31, 2026, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 and 2026 refer to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.
|
| Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation The financial position and operating results of certain foreign operations, including certain subsidiaries operating in the UK as part of the International reportable segment and Canada as part of the North America reportable segment, are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within other operating expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| New accounting pronouncements recently adopted and New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted | New accounting pronouncements recently adopted There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted to date during Fiscal 2027 that have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”) In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03. This ASU requires disclosure of additional information about certain income statement expense line items, such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Prescribed expense categories within each line item will be required to be disaggregated in tabular format. Prescribed expense categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Other material expense categories identified within each income statement expense line item may also require disclosure. Total selling expenses and a definition of selling expenses are required to be disclosed. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statement disclosures. Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40) (“ASU 2025-06”) In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06. This ASU requires entities to start capitalizing software costs once management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This ASU removes the prescriptive software development stages referenced in prior guidance. The amendments in this ASU specify the disclosures for internal-use software costs follow the same disclosure requirements as property, plant, and equipment, regardless of how these costs are presented in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
