For many years I have had an interest in “Coats of Arms?, which are
often referred to as Family Crests. Family Crests are located directly
on top of the wreat on the Coat of Arms, which is above the helmet,
mantle and shield. Habitation origin, occupational origin and
occupative origin is typical of terminology that may be used in
Heraldry. If you have studied Heraldry or are involved, you already
know that it is very easy to understand.
Hraldric jewellery probably occured as a result
of personal vanity or pride, it did have its practical purposes as well.
Heraldic devices were similarly used for purposes of identification during
Medieval tournaments and jousts.
Heraldic jewellery has been worn
with great pride and dignity for more than a thousand years. During the long-ago but fascinating Middle
Ages, nobles and knights who were about to go into battle would bedeck their
armor and shields with their heraldic coats-of-arms or badges. Their use of
graphic, heraldric devices in this way served a very practical, and in fact, essential
purpose during the heat of battle: quick and easy identification of friends and
foes. Without using some type of highly
visible graphic device it would have been very difficult for a warrior to
identify his allies and enemies even at close range as their faces were always
hidden beneath armored helmets. Heraldic devices were similarly used for
purposes of identification during Medieval tournaments and jousts.

Family
crests are not what you might think.a family crest is actually only
one portion of the heraldic display known as a coat-of-arms.It is
analogous to the crest on top of the heads of some birds.
ewelry
has been used by men and women for wealth storage and for personal
adornment for tens of thousands of years. A prime example is
the family crest ring.
