Introducing the T&B Crest Collection. Classic designs inspired by a quirky cat signet ring that I found antiquing in London years ago. Upon researching the unusual antique ring further, I discovered that the cat imagery was actually a Scottish family crest and that many historical family crests featured the most interesting animal motifs and mottos. The designs and the messages that accompanied them spoke to me, offering gentle reminders and encouragement. I love the idea of these historical images, traditionally tied to class and passed down within families, instead being chosen by the wearer simply for the beauty in the designs and the significance of the messages. I decided to pick a few of my favorites and create a mini collection for Thistle & Bess.
