This crown is accented with over 80 imitation stones.

The durable (but lightweight) crown measures 6.5" wide (two sizes available -- see the related products list below for the larger size) and about 2.75" tall. Its' metal material is slightly pliable, allowing you to gently bend the crown for a better fit.

The fleur-de-lis has long been a symbol of heraldry. We get the phrase from the French language -- it means Flower of the Lily. It symbolizes the three-petaled iris flower, used as the armorial emblem of the kings of France.

Not suprisingly, the fleur-de-lis symbol often finds its way into Mardi Gras decor, jewelry and apparel. Its' royal tradition makes it a perfect fit for the royalty of Mardi Gras. Some also say that it represents the three symbols of Carnival: Power, Faith and Justice, just as the Mardi Gras colors do.
