3D Coat of Arms Crystal Block

This stunning three-dimensional crystal block makes a beautiful centrepiece for any home or office. It’s one of our most unique gifts. We engrave the image inside the crystal itself, giving it a magical floating appearance. This process, known as sub-surface engraving, creates a striking 3D effect.

Laser-engraved from the Inside

Unlike traditional engraving, we use advanced laser technology to etch directly inside the glass. Thousands of tiny bubbles form within the crystal. Together, they recreate your chosen coat of arms with depth and dimension. The result? A bold, detailed image that appears suspended in the centre of the block.

We carefully replicate each element of your chosen coat of arms. The crest, shield, surname, and motto (if available) are all included. This attention to detail ensures that every crystal block is both accurate and meaningful.

Made from Optical Crystal

We use optical crystal, a high-quality, lead-free material known for its flawless clarity. It reflects light beautifully and has a smooth, polished finish. The domed top adds elegance and gives the block a more sculpted appearance.

Measuring 12cm high, 6cm wide, and 6cm deep, it’s perfectly sized to sit on a mantlepiece, shelf, or desk. The crystal block adds style without overwhelming the space. It also makes a great alternative to our traditional glass plaques with a wooden or pin stand.

Make It Personal

You can add extra engraving beneath the coat of arms. This might include a name, birth date, wedding date, or a short message. This custom text adds meaning and turns your gift into a lasting keepsake.

Whether you’re buying for a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or family celebration, this gift suits any occasion. It’s also an ideal choice for someone interested in genealogy or family history.

Check for Your Family Name

Finding your family’s coat of arms is quick and easy. Just type your surname into the search box at the top of this page. We’ll show the earliest coat of arms we have on record for that name.

Want to learn more about the meaning behind your heraldry? You’ll find a full description with each result. This gives insight into the colours, symbols, and layout of the design.

A Handmade Shield to Celebrate Unions and Heritage

Looking for a truly personal and meaningful gift? Our handmade shield featuring a double coat of arms is the perfect way to honour a union, whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, or celebration of a shared family history. This beautiful oak wall plaque is individually crafted to your specifications and made to last for generations.

Each handmade shield displays two coats of arms, traditionally painted and mounted to create a unique tribute to heritage and partnership.

A Handcrafted Gift of Lasting Value

Crafted by our experienced heraldic artist David, who has over forty years of expertise in the field, each shield is a true work of art. David works directly from the earliest known coat of arms associated with each surname. Our database holds over one million surnames, so we can usually locate both arms with ease.

Once your family names are confirmed, David hand-paints both coats of arms onto a burnished copper-effect template using time-honoured enamel paints. The detailed artistry captures the colours and symbolism with historical accuracy and vibrant clarity.

Customised to Your Preferences

You can choose the size of your handmade shield – either medium or large – and select between a light oak-style or rich hardwood-style backing. Once the painting is complete, we mount the embossed template onto your chosen plaque, creating a stunning and balanced presentation.

You also have the option to request a weatherproof seal if you’d like to display the shield outdoors – perhaps at your front door, garden wall, or even as a unique welcome sign.

Ready to Hang and Easy to Display

Each shield comes fully assembled with fixings included, so it arrives ready to hang straight on the wall. Whether it’s displayed in a living room, study, hallway, or office, this elegant piece becomes a conversation starter and cherished reminder of family history.

The Ideal Gift for Weddings, Anniversaries and More

This double coat of arms handmade shield makes a thoughtful and symbolic gift. It’s especially popular for:

• Weddings and civil partnerships

• Wedding anniversaries

• Housewarming gifts

• Genealogy and heritage enthusiasts

• Couples combining family names

With its personalised touch and historical accuracy, this shield is a meaningful keepsake that honours both past and present.
