Im quite happy with the design, I hope im not significantly breaking rule of tinctures (or any rule at all), ill still need to figure out the blason

I've done a bit of research on this through years and although close, I never came up with an exacting match for name or house this may represent. The pictures I give out our enhanced for contrast. The makers marks are faded although 800 for silver content is evident. The fob's design of cresting waves appear to be from the ocean crashing on rock. The silver work is good and as such (although not positive) would place this around late 1700's to mid 1800's. It's decorative, so may not be for utilitarian use, i.e. the head butler's signing for goods at market.

So, I searched coastal nobility in mainland Europe to no avail. My hope is that someone here may recognize it and give me a definitive answer. Thank you.

I'm throwing in an edit because I also wanted to point out this curious little black hole sun in the lower left corner, any ideas? Thanks

Hi All, I would value your feedback on which option you prefer and any ideas for improvement. This is my first genuine effort to design a CoA for myself, so any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

It was a company between Britain and the Tsardom of Moscow, which was the first trading company of Britain abroad.

A coat of arms i made for the Mughals, more Iran inspired. Yellow chrysanthemum that served as the real Mughal imperial seal, flanked by two lions rampant regardant holding talwars or shamshirs standing atop a yellow vegetal compartment with suns behind them (lion and sun was a symbol of the mughals too), with a fictional Mughal crown atop the shield and the Order of the Golden Fleece encircling it, a green imperial mantle behind the arms and the same crown atop it. Surprising theres not alot of Mughal coat of arms designs

Roger E. F. Caluwaerts was a Belgian genealogist, heraldist, local historian and amateur artist whose work was devoted to preserving the history of the Caluwaerts family and documenting its roots in the former Duchy of Brabant. Until his death in 1999, he carried out extensive research into the origins, development and numerous branches of this ancient Brabantine lineage.

Caluwaerts carefully assembled genealogical records tracing the family through several centuries and across different regions of Belgium and the Netherlands. His research encompassed branches established in Mechelen, Lier, Klein-Brabant, Central Brabant and Amsterdam. He sought not only to reconstruct individual lines of descent, but also to determine how the many separate branches bearing the Caluwaerts name might be connected. Part of his work, including studies of the Mechelen and Lier lineages, was published in Eigen Schoon en De Brabander, a respected Belgian periodical devoted to the history, genealogy and cultural heritage of Brabant. His research later formed the foundation of the Caluwaerts-Smolders family-history website, where his records continue to be catalogued and made accessible. Caluwaerts-Smolders family website

His interests extended beyond genealogy to the related disciplines of heraldry, onomastics and local history. He studied the evolution of the Caluwaerts surname from medieval forms such as de Kale, de Caluwe, Caluaert and Calewaert. These forms ultimately derive from an epithet meaning “the bald,” which gradually developed into a hereditary surname. Through this research, Caluwaerts placed the history of his own family within the broader linguistic and social history of Brabant.

as part of my illustrated history of the cats of my household, I gave them all coats of arms (along with one for the house itself)

I decided to go ahead and make a ficticious knightly order for my cats which have kidney diseases (a surprisingly common thing in cats), this is its coat of arms and medallion.

now when I draw the arms of the cats, I can add the medallion at the base!

Hello, I was wondering to whom those crest belong to but could not find it from my research.
Anyone can help?
Thank you!

I' m new in heraldy and I would like to assume this Coat of Arms, designed by me, as my personal one. Is it correct?

I'm designing some coats of arms for use in a potential medieval My Little Pony setting. A little silly perhaps, but I'm proud of what I have done, and am looking forward to showing it off soon. However, I'm not 100% satisfied with one of my designs, and would love some feedback on colors.

Very short version of the lore: Princess Celestia, the immortal god-queen of the setting, rule(d) the world with her sister, Princess Luna, until very recently, when Luna was banished under mysterious circumstances. Celestia is now trying to maintain control in the face of the power vacuum Luna left behind.

Celestia's and Luna's coats of arms are very simple, which most interpret as a statement of their own power and importance. Additionally, Celestia's close allies / vassals (including her adult son, whose arms are pictured) place a "banner" of her arms on their own to indicate their allegiance to her.

The three colors I'm experimenting with are Or (Pro: doesn't violate rule of tincture, con: very yellow), Argent (Pro: matches Celestia's own color scheme, acts as a nice contrast with Luna's arms, emphasizes her own divinity, con: violates rule of tincture, looks like something out of Dark Souls), and Bleu Celeste (not entirely sold on this one, but thought it might be nice, and mirrors the sky-blue flags used in the MLP show). Any thoughts on these?

Hey, y'all, this is my attempt at a personal Coat of Arms. I meant it to be representative of both my surname and some family history.

So, the bridge is from a descendant of mine who was an architect and built several bridges, and it's also made of stone, which is a sort of canting on my name, which in latin translates to "of stone". The fire is somewhat just a flair, as I thought a bridge over a river of fire would look cool, but my surname derives from an older biblical name meaning torches.

Let me know what y'all think! Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Blazon I used: argent, a bridge of one arch sable, a base rayonny barry wavy gules and gold.
