The Herondale family ring is a silver ring, the Shadowhunter family ring worn by Herondale. It is decorated with herons, symbolizing the family name.
Like all Shadowhunter family rings, their magical enchantment makes them automatically fit the wearer. 
== History ==
Due to Stephen Herondale's early and unexpected death, no family ring was left for his son, Jace, whom everyone thought died in his mother's womb. In 2008, Tessa Gray, upon finding out about Jace, who is directly descended from her and Will's line, and that he finally took on the family name, passed onto him, through Clary Fairchild, the Herondale ring that once belonged to her son, James Herondale. If not for Tessa's gift, Jace would have had to commission a ring from the Iron Sisters.
Jace eventually had his own ring made, integrating the Lightwood symbols with the Herondales'. Through Clary, the Herondale ring was then given to Kit Herondale.
== Trivia ==
* It has become a Herondale family tradition that, at the age of twelve (when Shadowhunters are given their Angelic Power rune), each member of the family receives their own ring. 
* Eli Lightwood, despite not being a Herondale, possesses a Herondale family ring in honor of his parabatai's, Stevie Herondale, family. He wears it on a chain around his neck, so it falls just above his heart, where his parabatai rune is. Eli also owns a Lightwood family ring that he wears on the ring finger of his left hand.
* Emmy Herondale possesses a Herondale family ring that she wears on a chain around her neck, which she often tucks into her clothes during training and battle. She also possesses a Carstairs family ring that she wears on the ring finger of her left hand. She wears this in honor of her parabatai, Mina Carstairs. They exchanged rings when Mina asked Emmy to be her parabatai. 
* Ella Herondale wears her family ring on her right ring finger. 
* Clary Herondale wears a Herondale family ring on a chain around her neck, and a Fairchild family ring on her left ring finger. Her Morgenstern family ring stays in a box on her dresser in her and Jace's bedroom. 
* Stevie Herondale is in possession of both a Herondale family ring (which he wears on his right ring finger) and a Lightwood family ring (which he wears on a chain around his neck).
