The Heritage collection draws inspiration from ancient symbols of authority such as the fleur-de-lis emblem that has adorned royal family crests for centuries and more recently was adopted the people of Louisiana as a symbol of hope after Hurricane Katrina.

“I liked the idea of incorporating centuries-old symbols of power,” says Kai. “Images of lions, dragons, and the fleur-de-lis have been associated with some of the greatest men in history.” In modern times, fleur-de-lis cufflinks in sterling silver and enamel have become an all-time classic for grooms, best men and wedding parties.
