Channel These 5 Regal Women With Floral Earrings

Vintage, regal and sophisticated, earrings with floral pattern are the best way to channel bygone eras of luxury. You may not be able to throw lavish parties and have manservants at your mercy, but you can channel the fabulousness of rulers who did with a pair of floral earrings.

So lean in and listen up as we throw it back a few centuries to these five historic queens who totally would have rocked a pair of floral earrings.

Eleanor of Aquitaine

Eleanor of Aquitaine was Queen Consort to Louis VII of France and is considered to have been one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world during the Middle Ages. We reckon she totally would have sported a pair of fleur de lis earrings, which are a prominent feature of the French symbolization of monarchy and aristocracy.

Victoria

The longest-reigning queen in British history, Queen Victoria was a no-nonsense monarch, being widely associated with the phrase “We are not amused.” If you, too, tend to be sullen and favor the all-black-everything look, opt for gothic-style floral earrings featuring black gems, to match Victoria’s usual attire after the loss of her husband Albert in 1861.

Lili’uokalani

We forget that Hawaii was not always under American authority. The string of islands was once governed by a monarchy, including Queen Lili’uokalani who, after she was overthrown, still went on to become an accomplished singer and composer. The Hawaiian totally would have worn freshly-fished pearls, so why not copy her with green or blue floral earrings featuring pearls.

Hatshepsut

Forget Cleopatra—Hatshepsut was beyond a shadow of a doubt Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh. During her peaceful reign spanning over 20 years, she invested in trade, the arts and architecture. A fun fact about her—she didn’t actually reign as a queen, but as a cross-dressing king. Go for a pair of gold earrings with floral pattern to reflect this regent’s wealth and authority.

Marie Antoinette

Our final and favorite royal is French ruler Marie Antoinette, whose bad rap we love to hate. She married Louis XVI at the tender age of 14, and would die young, too, after she garnered a reputation as a frivolous and uncaring monarch. Match the young queen’s whimsical attitude with colorful and girly chandelier earrings.

These royals’ fabulous accessory game would have been enough to make anyone jealous. Attract the same attention in a pair of feminine floral earrings all your own.
