Ramirez Custom Design Story


"We received the rings a couple of days ago, and our daughter-in-law absolutely loved hers — as did I! I attached a photo of all our rings. "

Overview
The Powers family approached Heraldic Jewelry with a special request: to create a set of four custom family crest rings. The project included rings for the client and her husband, as well as matching rings for her son and daughter-in-law.


The commission aimed to create a new family design binding them through shared values. Instead of an existing coat of arms, the client developed a custom crest reflecting what mattered most to their family.

As the client shared at the beginning of the process: “I am looking to create four rings for our family. I want to design a custom image that reflects our values.”

Design Requirements and Vision

  1. A traditional crest ring with a
    simple design.
  2. Classic, meaningful, and suitable
    for both men’s and ladies’ rings
  3. Standard helmet and mantling
    found in classic crest ring designs

The overall aesthetic remained simple and traditional, allowing the symbols to remain the focus of the design. The crest was framed with a standard helmet and mantling,giving the rings the look and feel of a traditional family crestwhile preserving the personal meaning of a newly created design.

Design Process

  1. Reviewing the client’s initial requests.
  2. Creating a new custom crest design
  3. Incorporating the requested motto
  4. Refining one selected design through multiple proof stages
