Crest rings in silver or gold
Crest rings that are made out of silver are usually done so with sterling silver. The design of the ring etc. does not vary from its gold counterpart. The only difference is the metal used to make the ring. Family crest rings usually have the family’s Coat of Arms on it. However one must keep in mind that many family history records were destroyed during the fires and therefore new crests were created to replace them. The College of Arms will be able to give you accurate information on this subject.
Seal rings
Seal rings with the family crest are also very popular. These rings are very similar to crest rings in that both of them have the crest on the top. The seal ring however is designed a bit differently. This is because the primary purpose of this ring was not to serve as a reminder but it had an actual purpose. The ring is used to seal letters and documents with the help of sealing wax. Some families use these rings even today.
