FLEUR DE LIS - C161 Traditionally, the Fleur de Lis has been used to represent French royalty, representing perfection, light, and life. Legend claims 2 different stories - an angel presented Clovis (the Merovingian king of the Franks) with a golden lily as a symbol of his purification upon his conversion to Christianity. Others claim that Clovis adopted the symbol when water lilies showed him how to safely cross a river and thus succeed in battle. Oh, the romance of it all! 925 sterling silver
