**Le Lys Rouge: A Tribute to Bessie Mae**

The House of Dappierre is proud to unveil the "Le Lys Rouge" brooch, a masterpiece that celebrates the elegance and grace of Bessie Mae, a woman whose love for lilies reflected the beauty and refinement she brought into every space she touched. This brooch is a tribute to her devotion to the flowers she planted, nurtured, and proudly displayed in her home, as well as her love for wearing lilies with a signature elegance to church, both on her dresses and hats.

Bessie Mae’s garden was her haven, and the lilies were its crown jewels. She lovingly planted them, watching them bloom with vibrant colors, particularly the rich red hue that quickly became her favorite. Lilies adorned the vases in her home, filling the air with their fragrance and bringing the beauty of her garden inside, creating an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility. But for Bessie Mae, the lilies were more than just flowers—they were a symbol of renewal and divine beauty, something she carried with her wherever she went.

Her love for lilies extended beyond her garden. Each Sunday, Bessie Mae would wear a carefully chosen lily on her church dresses or hats, as if to share the joy these flowers brought her with everyone around her. Whether a fresh bloom pinned to her shoulder or a delicate silk lily gracing her hat, these flowers were a reflection of her grace and the faith that bloomed within her heart. To those who knew her, the sight of Bessie Mae with a lily was as familiar and comforting as the flowers themselves.

The "Le Lys Rouge" brooch is a stunning homage to this connection. The brooch features a bold, radiant red lily, crafted from the finest rubies and set against a background of lustrous gold. Its petals are adorned with sparkling diamonds, capturing the essence of the sunlight that illuminated her beloved garden. Every detail of the brooch, from the gentle curve of the petals to the lifelike shimmer of the stones, reflects the elegance of the lilies she so dearly loved. 

This brooch is not merely a tribute to the flower, but to the woman who carried its beauty in her heart. The "Le Lys Rouge" symbolizes Bessie Mae’s love for life, nature, and her faith, all of which blossomed with the same vibrance as the lilies in her garden. Each time this brooch is worn, it serves as a reminder of the elegance and warmth she radiated—much like the lilies that filled her home with their beauty and her heart with joy.

The House of Dappierre is honored to create the "Le Lys Rouge" brooch, a timeless piece that reflects Bessie Mae’s love for her garden, her devotion to her faith, and her flair for always carrying a touch of nature’s elegance wherever she went.
