Over the last 10 days, celebrities have flocked to Cannes, France for the annual Cannes Film Festival. Beautiful, elegant soirées were held, films were screened, actors and film makers were honored and celebrated. As the festival draws to a close this weekend, we have decided to pay homage to the wonderful country that hosts this bazaar of events year after year.
A common symbol associated with France and all things French is that of the fleur-de-lis. A figure that has long been associated with royalty, politics, and power is actually based on the form of a delicate flower: an iris. Fleurs-de-lis have graced every facet of decoration, from coats of arms to architectural ornamentation to religious works of art for hundreds of years. Now, this timeless symbol can adorn your stylish self.
Naturally, the first place we think to wear symbolic jewelry is around our necks. GK Designs provides us with a beautiful necklace to suit our purpose. GK Designs Gold Vermeil and Garnet Fleur de Lis Necklace is simple in its design of a fleur-de-lis charm hanging with four garnet accents, but its effect will be dramatic. Pair it with Zaria Gold Fleur de Lis Earrings, and you’re totally set.
Another magnificent place to wear a fleur-de-lis is on your finger. We love Blu Bijoux’s Black Fleur de Lis Ring because it is an easy way to punch up your style on the cheap. Stark black enamel paired with brilliant silver plated accents and covered with sparkling Austrian crystals, this ring will not only pair perfectly with all of your other accessories, but it will also give you an even more glamorous look with its cuff design.
Last, but certainly not least, take a look at the Alex and Ani Fleur De Lis Expandable Wire Bangles. Available in your choice of sterling silver or yellow gold vermeil, these bangles are gorgeous on their own, but look even better stacked. We promise, the fleur-de-lis charms hanging from these bracelets will have everyone stopping to ogle your accessories. And, really, who couldn’t used a little good ogling these days?
We’ve got lots more fleur-de-lis designs where these come from! Be sure to check them out to find something perfect for you!
