The arms and their blazon
The municipality’s material gives the blazon as a silver point in a red field with a silver chief bearing three red roses.
Background in the municipal sources
The municipality says Djursholm’s town arms were chosen for the new municipality in 1971. The silver point has a territorial reference to the former Djursholm estate, while the roses are associated with the area’s former villa and garden communities.
