Fleur de Lis Collection

We recently made several handmade accessories inspired by the "Fleur de Lis", a stylised design of medieval French origin. Its meant to represent the different classes in medieval society. The working class, the clergy, and the military are depicted by the three petals of the Lily, or Iris, flower. This symbol was traditionally used as adornment for coats of arms and flags of French monarchs. Its popularity became widespread as other European nations began to adapt the "Fleur de Lis" for their own purposes. To this very day, this iconic emblem is still used in many different variations.

Due to the "Fleur de Lis'" vertical orientation, we decided on medallion design to better capture the petals curved profile and sharp edges. All in all, we were able to come up with a total of three necklaces in different colors representing Fall & Winter. We used the following materials: acrylic gemstone and crystals, seed beads, gold plated chain with faux leather back finishing with this opera styled necklace. The bead embroidered medallion part of the necklace measures six inches, while the chain's length is twelve inches. The total neckline measurement is twenty-four inches.

These necklaces are part of our upcoming Fall/Winter collection, which we will be unveiling in conjunction with the relaunch of our website and online store. With improved skills and newly learned techniques, we are hoping that we were able to elevate the texture and depth of our handcrafted accessories. The subtle tones we were going for on the "Fleur de Lis" design give it an understated appearance for a statement necklace, yet we're very pleased with the elegant outcome of the final product.

In the coming days, we will be blogging our Fall and Winter designs,  leading up to our website's launch date. If you wish to preorder any of these new handmade accessories before we finally list them, please send us a message on Facebook, Twitter, or through email. 

Keeping it real. -PJV
