                Family rings/crests

In the book all shadow hunters have metal rings witha crest imbedded into it.

 I reasearched the origin of crests and it was started in before roman times. The crests were put into armor and shields.

I also reasearched family rings and the old tradition of family rings would be that the husbands mother would have the birthstone of her husband and all her kids (occasionally ther parents too) and that ring would be given the her first sons wife.
