In modern times, European monarchies and republics still use coats of arms in heraldic tradition. Thousands of civic arms prove that heraldic awareness continues to survive and is becoming even more popular. Man seems to want to belong to a family, a clan, a community or a nation and the way of expressing this is with a coat of arms, a badge or a flag.
Coats of arms can be found in all sorts of places, including monuments, gates of towns, tombstones, castles, bookplates, silver ware and signet rings. The right to arms is not a privilege given to any particular group, but it is wise to remember that a coat of arms is the property of its bearer and a similar name doesn’t necessarily mean proof of a genealogical connection. Anyone who wishes to assume armorial bearings should contact the official heraldic institution.
As can be seen from the photographs, we are able to make signet rings cut with your family coat of arms or crest, although the crest details must be supplied with the order.
