La Tour Eiffel French Necklace

Say “j'aime la France” with this dainty 16 inch (40.64 cm) necklace featuring a tiny Eiffel Tower charm at its centre. Tiny blue, white, and red glass seed beads representing the French flag adorn this necklace, giving it a sense of whimsy that draws the eye, especially when paired with the tiny Eiffel Tower. The necklace is strung on jewellery wire with a lobster claw fastener and metal links to make it adjustable.

The Eiffel Tower primarily represents French ingenuity, the city of Paris, and a symbol of national pride. It also symbolizes modernity, innovation, and the enduring spirit of France. Originally built for the 1889 World's Fair to showcase French engineering, it has become a globally recognized landmark and an enduring icon of Paris.

The French flag, or "Tricolore," is a symbol of France, embodying the nation's ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Its three vertical bands of blue, white, and red represent these values, originating from the French Revolution. While the colours also have historical roots in Paris's colours (blue and red) and the Bourbon monarchy (white), the flag ultimately symbolizes national unity and the revolutionary spirit.

These beads have been cleansed and are ready for their next home. I have taken them from broken jewellery, and some have been bought from ethically sourced places. This bracelet will come in plastic free packaging to lessen the harm to Mother Earth.
