The Amish have certain practices and
beliefs called Demut and Gelassenheit which preclude self promotion, which is
why, Amish furniture is not sold directly by the Amish on the many online sites
that you may see. The Amish also tend to minimize contact with the mainstream
populace and they prefer to work at home, which is why their workshops
typically have technologically unadvanced or low tech tools and machinery.

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.
