We'll briefly discuss the background of these hot items then point you toward websites where you can find the perfect pair of earrings.
What is a Fleur de Lis?
You might wonder what a fleur de lis is and what it symbolizes. It is believed that the fleur de lis was intended to represent an iris and it has long been associated with France and the French monarchy. Since around 500 AD, when French monarch Clovis converted to Christianity, the fleur de lis was used on the French king's coat of arms as a symbol of purity. Ever since then it has appeared in European coats of arms and on flags to indicate a connection to France. In North America, the fleur de lis can be seen on the flags of cities and regions that were settled by the French, like Quebec and New Orleans.
