Rampant Lion Collections - Heart of the Lion

Historically, eagles were associated with God and the heavens. Ancient kings and royalty believed themselves to be gods or god-like, and so it came to be that the eagle, because of its association with God and the heavens, became the symbol of these royals. Stylized versions of the eagle appeared on the arms, standards, seals and flags of the sovereign rulers of the ancient world. Eagles so depicted on arms and other armorial bearings are known as "heraldic" eagles. The heraldic eagle is usually shown with his head in profile and the rest of the body shown symmetrically with the wings and talons in right angles to the body.

Our Heraldic Eagle cufflinks, studs and tie tacks feature an heraldic eagle carved in bold relief on a shield.
