The added significance of the Fleur de Lis contributes to what makes this china necklace so special. The term "Fleur de Lis" comes from the French words ‘fleur’ and ‘lis’ which mean ‘flower’ and ‘lily’, thus translating to ‘flower of lily.’ The symbol itself signifies life, enlightenment, and excellence – three things that are often associated with lilies. Throughout history, the Fleur de lis has been held in high regard as a religious symbol, as the three petals are believed to signify the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. With the lily flower an emblem of the Virgin Mary herself, the Fleur de Lis represents purity, and the strength and power that lies in a mother’s undying love for her child.
