The fleur-de-lis's origin is debated, with some suggesting it's a stylized lily, while others propose it's an iris. It's a prominent symbol in heraldry and has been used in various ways, including as a royal badge, a symbol of French independence, and an emblem of purity. These earrings feature three small fleur-de-lis charms dropping straight down to a larger fleur-de-lis symbol. The length and weight of these provide a lot of movement while wearing, constantly picking up light and drawing attention. All parts, including the ear clasps are 100% sterling silver. There is some patina evident from oxidation. This can be left alone to enhance depth and highlights or easily rubbed off with a jewelry cloth for a squeaky-new bright silver shine.
