Alis Grave Nil – “Nothing is heavy to those who have wings”
Originally created so knights could be identified beneath layers of armor, the coat of arms evolved into unique emblems for noble families — each blending symbols, colors, and shapes into a personal sigil.
These miniature shields are reimagined in fine silver filigree, each handcrafted in the Luft tradition. Choose from seven meaningful symbols paired with a Latin motto, and personalize your pendant with the initial of your choice.
A modern heirloom, made just for you.
Symbol Options (each with a Latin motto):
- Wing – Alis Grave Nil – “Nothing is heavy to those who have wings”
- Eye – Ut avertam oculos meos ad internum – “I close my eyes to see”
- Moon – Per aspera ad astra – “Through hardships to the stars”
- Crowned Heart – Amor vincit omnia – “Love conquers all”
- Skull – Memento mori, memento vivere – “Remember you must die, remember to live”
- Ankh – Ad vitam aeternam – “To eternal life”
- Locked Heart & Key – Semper fidelis – “Forever yours”
Customization Details:
• One uppercase initial of your choice will be hand-cut and soldered onto the shield

Jewelry Care Guide
To keep your jewelry as beautiful as the day you received it, we recommend a few simple practices:
Keep it dry
Moisture is silver’s quiet enemy. Remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or exercising, and avoid leaving it in humid places like bathrooms for long periods.
Avoid chemicals
Perfume, lotion, hairspray, and cleaning agents can damage the finish or dull the shine. Apply them first and wear your jewelry last.
Store it properly
When not in use, store your piece in its original box or a closed container to prevent tarnishing and scratching.
✨ Polish with care
- For unplated sterling silver: Use a silver polishing cloth to gently restore its shine.
- For gold vermeil or plated jewelry: Avoid polishing cloths or anything abrasive, as they may wear the surface. A soft, dry cloth is best.
