Receivables [Abstract]
Credit card outsourcing programs	Credit card outsourcing programs The Company has entered into various agreements with Comenity Bank (“Comenity”) and Concora Credit Inc. (“Concora”) (formerly known as Genesis Financial Solutions) through its subsidiaries Sterling Jewelers Inc. (“Sterling”) and Zale Delaware, Inc. (“Zale”), to outsource its private label credit card programs. Under the original agreements, Comenity provided credit services to all prime credit customers for the Sterling banners and to all credit customers for the Zale banners. Credit to non-prime customers was provided by the Company under separate agreements with CarVal Investors and Castlelake, L.P. (the “Investors”), whereby the Investors purchased the receivables originated by the Company. In addition to the receivables sold to the Investors, Signet also maintained a portion of the non-prime in-house finance receivables portfolio. In Fiscal 2022, both the Sterling and Zale agreements (“Program Agreements”) with Comenity and Concora were amended and restated to provide credit services to both prime and non-prime customers. In addition, concurrently with these amended and restated Program Agreements, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, Signet sold its portion of the non-prime customer in-house finance receivables to the Investors for cash proceeds of $57.8 million. These receivables had a net book value of $56.4 million as of the sale date, and thus the Company recognized a gain on sale of $1.4 million in the North America reportable segment within other operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. Additionally, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company received $23.5 million from the Investors for a remaining payment obligation for receivables previously purchased by the Investors in June 2018. In Fiscal 2024, the Program Agreements were further amended to, among other matters, extend the terms of the Program Agreements to December 31, 2028.
