COAT OF ARMS

The coat of arms in its classical form has been developed during the time of the crusades and the army of knights in the 12th century.
With the emergence of heavy and compact armors, friends and enemies were not be recognizable in the battle anymore, so the coat of arms served as an identification. Most adequate to install the identifications symbols have been the helmets and bucklers of the knights which are the main elements in the coat of arms today.

Even if there are family-, club- or city arms they still have an important role as an identification symbol today. You will also find them in jewelry pieces and give them a unique and one of a kind look as you can see in the “Coat of arms” Collection.
