🛡️ How to create your own crestUpdated 4 months ago

With our expertise in heraldry, one of our specialties is the creation of personal or family crests, fully illustrated by hand and tailored to your story.

🖋️ 1. A bespoke hand-drawn crest

Each crest is illustrated by Lauren, our heraldic artist, trained in traditional drawing and engraving techniques — and coming from a family of engravers. Your design will be created from scratch based on your story, values, and symbols.

To get inspired, take a look at our previous crest creations.

Your crest can include:

• Traditional heraldic elements (shields, mottos, supporters, mantling...)

• Personal references (places, objects, plants, animals, important dates...)

• Your initials or a custom monogram

• A meaningful motto or phrase

📩 2. How to order

To begin the creation process, simply order a bespoke ex-libris → Order here

You’ll be able to:

• Share your ideas, photos, sketches, or references

• Receive the first draft within 7 working days

• Request one round of revisions, if needed

The final crest will be engraved as a custom ex-libris stamp.

✨ 3. What happens next?

Once your crest is finalised, we can adapt it to a variety of formats:

• Wax seal (engraved in deep relief on brass)

• Signet ring in gold or silver

• Embosser (dry press for stationery or official papers)

• Framed illustration, personalised stationery, or greeting cards

Each application can be quoted and produced on request.
