This heraldry section of the site is designed to help give you a better understanding of what heraldry is—it’s origins, growth and it’s uses over the centuries.

Check out our articles explaining the history and awarding of crests and coats of arms. The modern heraldry article will give you a better understanding on how crests and coat of arms fit into our everyday life.

This heraldry section is envisioned as being a library of content for your growing interest in your Family History, Heraldry and this line of gifts.  We will be adding articles on swords, sword care, armor, crests and coats of arms as well as interesting articles on life in the Middle Ages.

We welcome your input, and would love to hear from you please email us at gems@dublin.com with any questions or suggestions of articles to include.

Don’t forget to sign up for our monthly email newsletter and be the first to know about our new articles. The sign-up box is in the upper left corner of every page just below our logo.
