I have been carving family crest and coats of arms onto gold and stone for over 25 years. These are carved deeply and usually in reverse for sealing rings. To order please send an enquiry via my
Photo Upload form.
You can upload the design of the crest or coat of arms, a photo of an existing crest ring or a sealing wax impression. I will respond quickly with advice on how we can best create a distinctive signet ring for you.
There are a number of different stones that can be carved with a crest. The image above shows the most popular stone choices.
Sold or single color stones such as Lapis-Lazuli, Bloodstone, Carnelian create a subtle carving that are best viewed in close up.
Layered agates also known as Sard-Onyx have layers of color. The design is carved through the top white layer to reveal the darker layer beneath. This displays the crest clearly due to the color contrast.
