Does everyone have a coat of arms?

 

The coats of arms on our database are the earliest known for a bearer of the surname. As a result, it is entirely possible that you will see others. These are usually later coats of arms that have been adapted for individuals through the ages. Our database has more than a million surnames and their associated coats of arms. In some cases, our researchers find more than one option available. For example, you may have the choice of Scottish or English. You will be able to read a brief excerpt of the surname history, along with a description of the coat of arms. We have a very useful blog article you might like to read: ‘Does my family name have a coat of arms?’

 

Choose a gift with a difference

 

At Christmas, it is easy to fall into the trap of making an impulse buy or selecting a gift that others will have thought of. Another common mistake is to buy the same persona a similar gift year-in year-out.  If this is you, then they will know what you have bought before they open it! Our coat of arms gift selection is second to none. We have such a wide variety that you are sure to find something to suit. For example, from our homepage, you can navigate the following sections:

 

Prints and scrolls

These include Surname history prints, Clan histories, Irish histories and more. Each is packed with intriguing details about the name such as early origins, spelling variations, even convicts sent to the new world or passengers on the Titanic. The paper is thick parchment style, and the relevant coat of arms appears at the top. Each print is completed with attractive border graphics in full colour, relating to the country of origin. We offer a framing service too, so your gift is professionally finished.

 

Crystal and glass

We have a fantastic selection of crystal for you to choose from, in three different ranges, Mayfair, Verona and Blenheim. Each is expertly engraved with the coat of arms relating to your chosen surname.

 

 

Shields and plaques

 

Our shields and plaques are some of our most popular gifts. Many of them are hand-painted by our expert heraldic artist David. He has more than forty years’ experience and creates lovely bespoke works of art. In this way, you get a stunning and truly personal gift. Read all about David here.
