Signet rings, seals, badges & brooches, pendants, earrings, cufflinks,cuff style bracelets, tie pins/tacs and keychains - all can be decorated with beautifully engraved or etched family crests, shields or coats-of-arms. They are often made of precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum. High-quality pieces feature lovely designs with intricate detail, as well as vivid colors if they have also been enameled or jewelled.
Although often worn strictly for its beauty, heraldic jewellery has become extremely popular not just because of its appearance, but also because of the sense of history and the pageantry of the Medieval world that it evokes. Colorful, elegant heraldic jewellery is perfect for the commemoration of a significant event in a person's life, such as a graduation or reaching the age of majority - the "coming of age."When presented to the recipient in connection with such an event, heraldic jewellery instills in the giver and the recipient a sense of history and continuing family heritage. But don't forget, there doesn't need to be a purpose behind wearing heraldric jewellery. Although based in history, it is beautiful in its own right and can be worn with great pride and dignity today, just like it was a thousand years ago.
