In French heraldry, the lily is known as the fleur-de-lys or fleur-de-lis ("lily flower", "lily blossom") and is probably the best-known symbol of the French monarchy. According to a legend from the High Middle Ages, the lily was presented to the Merovingian King Clovis I as a divine gift by an angel. This antique brooch from around 1880 shows this heraldic motif in particularly luxurious materials: 102 diamond roses are set in bright silver, creating a flower of white light. The lily was probably once part of a larger piece of jewelry. We are thinking of a necklace or a tiara, for example. Only a little later, it was transformed into a brooch with a gold pin on the back. It can now add a sparkling accent to a blouse, lapel or tie. This luxurious piece of jewelry in the long tradition of fleur-de-lys is just waiting to be worn!
