Design rationale
In designing the arms consideration was given to the ancestral origins of the armiger's family. Thus, the arms have elements that remind Asturias and Cataluña in Spain as well as Chile. Asturias, the land of the Armiger's paternal grandparents is represented by the Azure in the shield and the pear symbolizing the patronymic name Perez. Gules is for strength and courage. The two towers castle represents the Catalan last name Castells for the armiger's wife maiden name. The border of the shield alternating Gules and Or are the colors of the Catalan flag. On the Gules sections of the bordure, the national flower of Chile in Or, ("The Copihue"), symbolizing the armiger's birth place. The owl in the center of the shield stands for Wisdom and Knowledge.
