Principal Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation	'
	1. Principal accounting policies and basis of preparation
	Basis of preparation
	Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”), including its subsidiaries, is a leading retailer of jewelry, watches and associated services. Signet manages its business as two geographical segments, the United States of America (the “US”) and the United Kingdom (the “UK”). The US division operates retail stores under brands including Kay Jewelers, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry, Ultra and various regional brands. Ultra was acquired by Signet in October 2012. The UK division’s retail stores operate under brands including H.Samuel and Ernest Jones.
	These condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. 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. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.
	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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of receivables, inventory and deferred revenue, fair value of derivatives, depreciation and asset impairment, the valuation of employee benefits, income taxes and contingencies.
	Fiscal year
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31st. Fiscal 2014 is the 52 week year ending February 1, 2014 and Fiscal 2013 is the 53 week year ended February 2, 2013. Within these financial statements, the third quarter and year to date of the relevant fiscal years 2014 and 2013 refer to the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively.
	Seasonality
	Signet’s sales are seasonal, with the first and second quarters each normally accounting for slightly more than 20% of annual sales, the third quarter a little under 20% and the fourth quarter for about 40% of sales, with December being by far the most important month of the year. Sales made in November and December are known as the “Holiday Season.” Due to sales leverage, Signet’s operating income is even more seasonal; about 45% to 50% of Signet’s operating income normally occurs in the fourth quarter, comprised of nearly all of the UK division’s operating income and about 40% to 50% of the US division’s operating income.
	Revenue recognition
	Extended service plans and lifetime warranty agreements
	The US division sells extended service plans where it is obliged, subject to certain conditions, to perform repair work over the lifetime of the product. Revenue from the sale of extended service plans is deferred over 14 years. Revenue is recognized in relation to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services, with approximately 45% of revenue recognized within the first two years (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: 46% and 46%, respectively). The deferral period is determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates used. All direct costs associated with the sale of these plans are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets.
	New accounting pronouncements adopted during the period
	Reclassification out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The new guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but it does require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, as well as require the presentation of these amounts on the face of the statements of comprehensive income or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Signet adopted this guidance effective for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 and the implementation of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on Signet’s consolidated financial statements.
	New accounting pronouncements to be adopted in subsequent periods
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The new guidance requires, unless certain conditions exist, an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in the financial statements for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance in ASU 2013-11 will become effective for the Company prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is also permitted. Signet did not early adopt this guidance and is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	Reclassification
	Signet has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform to the current year presentation.

Segment information	'
	2. Segment information
	Signet’s sales are derived from the retailing of jewelry, watches, other products and services. Signet is managed as two geographical operating segments, being the US and UK divisions. These segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar merchandise and services and have similar marketing and distribution strategies. Both divisions are managed by executive committees, which report to Signet’s Chief Executive Officer, who in turn reports to the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Each divisional executive committee is responsible for operating decisions within parameters set by the Board. The performance of each segment is regularly evaluated based on sales and operating income. The operating segments do not include certain corporate administrative costs. There are no material transactions between the operating segments.

	Assets and liabilities denominated in the UK pound sterling are translated into the US dollar at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts denominated in the UK pound sterling are translated into US dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses denominated in the UK pound sterling are translated into the US dollar at the monthly average exchange rate for the period and calculated each month from the weekly exchange rates weighted by sales of the UK division. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within the consolidated income statement, whereas translation adjustments and gains and losses related to intercompany loans of a long-term investment nature are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).

	Signet has business activity in all states within the US and files income tax returns for the US federal jurisdiction and all applicable states. Signet also files income tax returns in the UK and certain other foreign jurisdictions. Signet is subject to US federal and state examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending after November 1, 2008 and is subject to examination by the UK tax authority for tax years ending after January 31, 2011.
	As of February 2, 2013, Signet had approximately $4.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits in respect of uncertain tax positions, all of which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate if resolved in Signet’s favor. These unrecognized tax benefits relate to financing arrangements and intra-group charges which are subject to different and changing interpretations of tax law. There has been no material change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in respect of uncertain tax positions during the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013.
	Signet recognizes accrued interest and, where appropriate, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. As of February 2, 2013, Signet had accrued interest of $0.2 million and there has been no material change in the amount of accrued interest as of November 2, 2013.
	Over the next twelve months management believes that it is reasonably possible that there could be a reduction of substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits as of February 2, 2013, due to settlement of the uncertain tax positions with the tax authorities.

	The basic weighted average number of shares excludes non-vested time-based restricted shares, shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Trust and treasury shares. Such shares are not considered outstanding and do not qualify for dividends, except for time-based restricted shares for which dividends are earned and payable by the Company subject to full vesting. The effect of excluding these shares is to reduce the average number of shares in the 13 and 39 week periods ended November 2, 2013 by 7,287,686 and 6,833,816 shares, respectively (13 and 39 week periods ended October 27, 2012: 6,711,229 and 4,309,714 shares, respectively). The calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for the 13 and 39 week periods ended November 2, 2013 excludes 87,809 and 64,884 non-vested time-based restricted shares (13 and 39 week periods ended October 27, 2012: 274,023 and 240,548 shares and share options, respectively) on the basis that their effect on earnings per share was anti-dilutive.

	Signet’s accounts receivable primarily consist of US customer in-house financing receivables. The accounts receivable portfolio consists of a population that is of similar characteristics and is evaluated collectively for impairment. The allowance is an estimate of the losses as of the balance sheet date, and is calculated using a proprietary model that analyzes factors such as delinquency rates and recovery rates. A 100% allowance is made for any amount that is more than 90 days aged on a recency basis and any amount associated with an account the owner of which has filed for bankruptcy, as well as an allowance for those amounts 90 days aged and under based on historical loss information and payment performance. The calculation is reviewed by management to assess whether, based on economic events, additional analyses are required to appropriately estimate losses inherent in the portfolio.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value	'
	11. Financial instruments and fair value
	Signet’s principal financial instruments are comprised of cash, cash deposits/investments and overdrafts, accounts receivable and payable, derivatives and a revolving credit facility. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. Derivative transactions are used by Signet for risk management purposes to address risks inherent in Signet’s business operations and sources of finance. The main risks arising from Signet’s operations are market risk including foreign currency risk and commodity risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Signet uses these financial instruments to manage and mitigate these risks under policies reviewed and approved by the Board.
	Derivatives
	Signet enters into various types of derivative instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in commodity costs and foreign exchange rates. Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values, as either assets or liabilities, with an offset to current or comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge.
	If a derivative instrument meets certain hedge accounting criteria, it may be designated as a cash flow hedge on the date it is entered into. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. For cash flow hedge transactions, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivatives is reported as other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is recognized in the consolidated income statements in the same period(s) and on the same financial statement line in which the hedged transaction affects net income. Amounts excluded from the effectiveness calculation and any ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative are recognized immediately in other operating income, net in the consolidated income statements. In addition, gains and losses on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in other operating income, net.
	The following types of derivative instruments are utilized by Signet:
	Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (designated)—These contracts, which are principally in US dollars, are entered into in order to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on forecasted foreign currency purchases. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of November 2, 2013 was $60.4 million (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: $50.8 million and $75.9 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 15 months (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: 12 months and 15 months, respectively).
	Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (undesignated)—Foreign currency contracts not designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge currency flows through Signet’s bank accounts to mitigate Signet’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk in its cash and borrowings.
	Commodity forward purchase contracts and net zero-cost collar arrangements—These contracts are entered into in order to reduce Signet’s exposure to significant movements in the price of the underlying precious metal raw material. The total notional amount of these commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of November 2, 2013 was $58.1 million (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: $187.6 million and $219.6 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 12 months (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: 11 months and 14 months, respectively).
	The bank counterparties to the derivative instruments expose Signet to credit-related losses in the event of their non-performance. However, to mitigate that risk, Signet only contracts with counterparties that meet certain minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. As of November 2, 2013, Signet believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency or commodity contracts.
	The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Fair value
The estimated fair value of Signet’s financial instruments held or issued to finance Signet’s operations is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Signet would realize upon disposition nor do they indicate Signet’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2—observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3—unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Signet determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The methods Signet uses to determine fair value on an instrument-specific basis are detailed below:

Forward commodity contracts			(0.6	)			(0.6	)			(4.6	)			(4.6	)			(2.6	)		(2.6	)
The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been determined based on market value equivalents at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment, current foreign currency forward rates or current commodity forward rates. These are held as assets and liabilities within other receivables and other payables, and all contracts have a maturity of less than 15 months. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.

	Legal proceedings
	In March 2008, a group of private plaintiffs (the “Claimants”) filed a class action lawsuit for an unspecified amount against Sterling Jewelers Inc. (“Sterling”), a subsidiary of Signet, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that US store-level employment practices are discriminatory as to compensation and promotional activities with respect to gender. In June 2008, the District Court referred the matter to private arbitration where the Claimants sought to proceed on a class-wide basis. The parties engaged in fact discovery related to class certification issues through mid-March 2013. In June 2013, the Claimants filed their motion for class certification, disclosed their experts, and produced their expert reports. In mid-October 2013, Sterling filed its opposition to Claimants’ class certification motion, its disclosure of its experts and their reports, as well as three motions to exclude the reports of Claimants’ experts and a motion to strike Claimants’ declarations and attorney summaries. The Claimants’ reply brief, any expert rebuttal submissions, as well as any motions relating thereto are due in mid-January 2014. Also due at that time are Claimants’ responses to Sterling’s motions to exclude and strike, and Sterling’s replies thereto are due in early February 2014. Expert discovery is ongoing, and all expert depositions must be completed by January 24, 2014. The Arbitrator has scheduled a hearing on the class certification motion and all related motions for February 5, 2014. Sterling has filed a motion requesting hearings (i.e., separate arguments) on its motions to exclude and strike. Claimants filed their opposition to Sterling’s motion on November 4, 2013 and Sterling’s reply thereto was filed with the Arbitrator on November 11, 2013.
	On September 23, 2008, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed a lawsuit against Sterling in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. The EEOC’s lawsuit alleges that Sterling engaged in intentional and disparate impact gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions of female retail store employees from January 1, 2003 to the present. The EEOC asserts claims for unspecified monetary relief and non-monetary relief against the Company on behalf of a class of female employees subjected to these alleged practices. Non-expert fact discovery closed in mid-May 2013. Pursuant to the Court’s case management order, both the EEOC and Sterling have designated their respective experts and produced their respective expert’s reports. The EEOC’s expert rebuttal submission is due mid-January 2014. Expert discovery is ongoing, and all expert depositions must be completed by January 24, 2014. Any dispositive motions must be filed by February 4, 2014. In the event that no dispositive motions are filed, a status conference is set for February 7, 2014. On September 25, 2013, Sterling filed a motion for partial summary judgment on procedural grounds. The EEOC’s response to Sterling’s motion was filed mid-November 2013, and Sterling’s reply thereto is due December 2, 2013. The Magistrate Judge has scheduled oral arguments on this motion for December 9, 2013.
	Sterling denies the allegations of both parties and has been defending these cases vigorously. At this point, no outcome or amount of loss is able to be estimated.
	In the ordinary course of business, Signet may be subject, from time to time, to various other proceedings, lawsuits, disputes or claims incidental to its business or not significant to Signet’s consolidated financial position.

	In May 2011, Signet entered into a $400 million senior unsecured multi-currency five year revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility contains an expansion option that, with the consent of the lenders or the addition of new lenders, and subject to certain conditions, availability under the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $200 million at the request of Signet. The Credit Facility has a five year term and matures in May 2016, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will be due and payable. The Credit Facility also contains various customary representations and warranties, financial reporting requirements and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Facility requires that Signet maintain at all times a “Leverage Ratio” (as defined in the Credit Facility) to be no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” (as defined in the Credit Facility) to be no less than 1.40 to 1.00, both determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter of Signet for the trailing twelve months.
	At November 2, 2013, $35.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. No amounts were outstanding under this Facility as of February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, with no intra-period borrowings. Signet had stand-by letters of credit of $9.5 million as of November 2, 2013 and February 2, 2013 and $8.2 million as of October 27, 2012, respectively.

	On October 29, 2012, Signet acquired the outstanding shares of Ultra Stores, Inc., a leading jewelry retailer operating primarily in outlet centers, from Crystal Financial LLC and its other stockholders (the “Ultra Acquisition”). The Company initially paid $56.7 million, net of acquired cash of $1.5 million, for the Ultra Acquisition including a $1.4 million working capital adjustment as of the closing, subject to post-closing procedures. The total consideration paid was funded through existing cash.
	On May 15, 2013, the post-closing procedures were finalized and a reduction to the initial purchase price was agreed to. As a result, total consideration paid for the Ultra Acquisition was reduced to $55.3 million. The refund of $1.4 million from the initial consideration paid was received during the second quarter of Fiscal 2014.
	The results of operations related to the Ultra Acquisition are reported as a component of the results of the US division and included in Signet’s consolidated financial statements commencing on the date of acquisition.
	During the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company finalized the valuation of net assets acquired. There were no material changes to the valuation of net assets acquired from the initial allocation reported during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013. Accordingly, the total consideration paid has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on the final fair values at October 29, 2012 as follows:

Principal Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Nov. 02, 2013
Basis of Preparation	'
	Basis of preparation
	Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”), including its subsidiaries, is a leading retailer of jewelry, watches and associated services. Signet manages its business as two geographical segments, the United States of America (the “US”) and the United Kingdom (the “UK”). The US division operates retail stores under brands including Kay Jewelers, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry, Ultra and various regional brands. Ultra was acquired by Signet in October 2012. The UK division’s retail stores operate under brands including H.Samuel and Ernest Jones.
	These condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. 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. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.
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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of receivables, inventory and deferred revenue, fair value of derivatives, depreciation and asset impairment, the valuation of employee benefits, income taxes and contingencies.
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal year
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31st. Fiscal 2014 is the 52 week year ending February 1, 2014 and Fiscal 2013 is the 53 week year ended February 2, 2013. Within these financial statements, the third quarter and year to date of the relevant fiscal years 2014 and 2013 refer to the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively.
Seasonality	'
	Seasonality
	Signet’s sales are seasonal, with the first and second quarters each normally accounting for slightly more than 20% of annual sales, the third quarter a little under 20% and the fourth quarter for about 40% of sales, with December being by far the most important month of the year. Sales made in November and December are known as the “Holiday Season.” Due to sales leverage, Signet’s operating income is even more seasonal; about 45% to 50% of Signet’s operating income normally occurs in the fourth quarter, comprised of nearly all of the UK division’s operating income and about 40% to 50% of the US division’s operating income.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue recognition
	Extended service plans and lifetime warranty agreements
	The US division sells extended service plans where it is obliged, subject to certain conditions, to perform repair work over the lifetime of the product. Revenue from the sale of extended service plans is deferred over 14 years. Revenue is recognized in relation to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services, with approximately 45% of revenue recognized within the first two years (February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012: 46% and 46%, respectively). The deferral period is determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates used. All direct costs associated with the sale of these plans are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Period	'
	New accounting pronouncements adopted during the period
	Reclassification out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The new guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but it does require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, as well as require the presentation of these amounts on the face of the statements of comprehensive income or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Signet adopted this guidance effective for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 and the implementation of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on Signet’s consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted in Subsequent Periods	'
	New accounting pronouncements to be adopted in subsequent periods
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The new guidance requires, unless certain conditions exist, an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in the financial statements for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance in ASU 2013-11 will become effective for the Company prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is also permitted. Signet did not early adopt this guidance and is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification	'
	Reclassification
	Signet has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform to the current year presentation.
