Wholesale Medium Fleur de Lis Necklace

The fleur de lis (sometimes spelled “lys” and always pronounced “lee”) simply means “lily flower” in French. The stylized emblem is ubiquitous and its use spans centuries and crosses cultures. The fleur de lis is said to have sprung from tears shed by Eve as she left the Garden of Eden. Catholic saints, notably Mary and Joseph, are often depicted with the lily, which symbolizes virtue and purity. Named after the wild lily flowers that flourish along the banks of the Lys River in France, the fleur de lis was adopted as a symbol of royalty and incorporated into French heraldry and coats of arms. From antiquity, the fleur de lis has been used to indicate due north on a compass rose. Today it has come to represent one’s unique path, destiny, or journey towards self-discovery. - sterling silver - adjustable length fine cable chain (16-18" or 19-21") - approximately 1/2" in diameter
