Is this considered Fleur de Lys? That's all I can come up with but I don't think that's right. It's a sterling pin by Ortak, a Scottish jewelry company.

France is not the only one to use this symbol. I found this information about Scotland using it:
"At the union of crowns of 1603, where James VI of Scotland became James I of England, the new royal arms had to express this brand new ‘marriage’ of countries. The Scottish Royal arms previously bore a lion rampant inside what is known in Heraldic terms as a double tressure flory-counter-flory (see below). The tressure detail represents the auld alliance with France and symbolises French protection, as the flowers are French fleur-de-lys."
I'm sure you know it is also spelled fleur de lis and another spelling I can't remember. It is a stylized lily.

Very nice! I usually see it spelled fleur de lis. The symbol is used all over New Orleans; don't know if that's a KW possibility but it couldn't hurt!
