Fleur De Lis

Walking along NOLA’s streets, you may notice the tips of fences adorned with gold accessories or pass by the city's official flag. This memorable symbol is the Fleur De Lis, which translates from French as “flower of the lily.”

This simple adornment is a cornerstone of New Orleans' history. It symbolizes the city's enduring French heritage, the resilience and unity of its people, and a connection to the faith of its residents.


You can honor this city's history by picking up a piece of Fleur de Lis jewelry from Jose Balli.

Trinity Crosses

Along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, you’re arrested by the most breathtaking cathedral. Reverently sitting atop its spire, you see a glittering crucifix. Representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, this symbol is found throughout New Orleans in many centers of faith.



Jose Balli mimicked this by crafting the trinity crosses necklace with the utmost care. This stack of sterling silver crosses starts with a light finish for the top cross, a hammered finish for the middle, and a smooth finish for the bottom. These crosses perfectly embody the Holy Trinity and the crucifixes found in NOLA.

New Orleans Nature

A tour through New Orleans would be incomplete without its picturesque landscape. The sights are breathtaking, from hanging plants along the main city strip to the moss along the bayou's edge.

Take a piece of the bayou home with you with Jose Balli's Spanish ring. This three-piece stackable sterling silver ring set is a still-life of the mossy vines that cover ancient oak trees, and it creates a vivid story, much like the vines it's modeled after.

Heritage is rarely loud. It lives in recipes memorized without measurements. In stories told at kitchen tables. In symbols worn so often, they feel like part of your body themselves. To embrace your heritage through accessories is not to costume yourself in history. It is to choose pieces that feel honest. Considered. Rooted, the goal is not spectacle. It is recognition. Here's how to wear a touch of heritage with intention. Step One: Identify the Symbols That Matter  Before choosing anything, start inward. Sit down and reflect on your faith, family, religion, and cultural symbols from your past. Think of it like this: If you were at a table and it was covered in family heirlooms, photos, and memories, which ones would catch your eye?
