A Coat of Arms on anything you want! Family Crests & Coat of Arms embroidered or engraved by specialists in the field of Heraldry. One of the great quotes by Alexander Nisbet states that the Coat of Arms and Heraldry represents the heroic achievements of our ancestors and perpetuates their memory, and I'm sure there are few who would disagree. A purpose of show and pageantry has long been associated with the family crests and Coat of Arms, and as we live in a civilized society this is very acceptable.
Heraldry has been defined in many ways but the definition we conclude is the best, that its the systematic use of an arrangement of charges placed on the shield. This was adopted in England, France, Spain, Ireland, Italy and Germany between the 10th and 12th century. A valid argument has been put forward, that the family crests and in fact the whole area of Heraldry was part of the feudal system of the land tenure in greater Europe.
Coat of Arms
There are six main parts to the Coat of Arms, and the family crests are just one. The main components are (a) the shield, this is where the charges are placed. The charges are the images which we see on the shield, and can vary from animals, castles and armoury which are most often painted or engraved. The most common engraving carried out today is on the Family Crest Rings or the Family Seal Rings and these can be made in Gold or Silver. (b) The Helmet, (c) The Mantling or officially called the Lambrequin, (d) The Torse or most commonly known as the Wreath, (e) The Crests most often referred to as the Family Crests, this sits on top of the entire blazon of arms and finally (f) the Motto.
