Four-leaf clover has long been used in jewelry as a symbol of good luck and wealth. There are many different stories about cunning leprechauns who hide their treasures under a four-leaf clover. Is such a special attitude to a seemingly ordinary plant justified?
What does the symbol of four-leaf clover in jewelry mean? And why did clover become so popular?
Why is the four leaf so popular?
In fact, there is no secret: finding a four-leaf clover is as difficult as winning the lottery. The chances of finding a lucky clover are approximately one in ten thousand. Just think about that number!
The abnormal number of petals aroused interest and gradually grew into rumors and speculation. A person, if he does not understand something, begins to think up the missing information. So there were fairy tales about leprechauns, who hide pots of gold under a strange clover.
And where are the leprechauns - there is luck and wealth. People who could not find the living four-leafed, began to make jewelry that should have the same properties as the plant. So clover pendants, rings, brooches and embroidery on fabrics appeared.
The value of the petals
Did you know that each of the petals has its own meaning?
- The first gives a person hope and empowers moral strength to overcome any difficulty.
- The second strengthens faith in oneself and in what a person does. It reduces doubts and helps to find your life path.
- The third petal presents the gift of love. This can be not only sensual love, but also family, and love for the pet.
- The fourth, rarest petal brings good luck.
Be extremely careful when purchasing a clover decoration. The pendant, ring or brooch should not have any scratches or any defects. Otherwise, such a defective decoration can introduce problems into the life of a person in that area that relates to a flawed petal.
Clover in jewelry
The symbolism of happy clover has long been used in jewelry. You can find four leaf clover in pendants, rings, brooches and earrings. Almost every jewelry store has similar jewelry in its assortment.
But which of these products are considered the best?
In antiquity, each decoration had its own purpose. It was either an indicator of status, or an amulet, or a talisman. In any case, the decorations should be located in the most prominent places, so that they all noticed.
So from this point of view, the best option would be to wear a brooch or a gold pendant. Four-leaf clover can be made of any material, however, to this day gold remains one of the most "status" metals.
Also, the symbolism of lucky clover was used in murals of fabric or in embroidery. It was believed that such a pattern would bring him the location of the gods and spirits. Well, good luck, of course!
Which material is better?
Traditionally, jewelry is made of gold and silver. Clover pendant is no exception, it is from these metals that it can be found most often. But what material should be chosen for clover to reveal all its magical potential?
In principle, this is not so important when it comes to metals. Gold clover pendant will practically not differ in its esoteric properties from silver or iron. And the thing is that clover loves plants.
So it’s best to buy a clover pendant made of wood. It can be absolutely any breed, but if you wish, you can get additional magical properties from the tree used.
An alternative to this is epoxy. You will need to find a clover for a pendant, always with four petals. This plant, until it has dried, must be attributed to the master who creates the jewelry. The jeweler will flood the clover with epoxy resin, let it dry, and cut. As a result, you will have a “canned" luck.
It remains only to find the four-leafed. Nevertheless, the chance of his appearance among simple clover is extremely small.
But there is a way out: you can order such a decoration on the Internet or buy a lucky clover. Especially cunning gardeners have long bred a plant variety that stably produces four petals.
Will such a high-quality fake only attract luck?
Clover as a gift
Four-leaf clover can be a wonderful gift for any occasion. Despite the deep meaning of this symbol and a reference to paganism, the clover pendant will cause a pleasant surprise in women. For men, you can buy a keychain or ring with a small engraving of clover.
Just one warning: the jewelry you give must be new. Even if you wore it briefly, it will be saturated with your energy and will begin to work for you. The act of giving can destroy this energetic bond.
As a result, you will feel that luck literally "flows away through your fingers." It is quite difficult to close such a gap, so it is better to simply protect yourself from such incidents.
Clover as an amulet and a talisman
Clover decoration can be used as a lucky charm. You do not need any additional conditions for your clover to "earn", just ask for a decoration about it. But then you need to follow a few rules, so your amulet will strengthen:
- This mascot should be worn only by you.
- It should be worn as often as possible. Clover is the symbol that loves someone else's attention.
- It must be kept clean.
If your mascot has defects, then it is better to turn it off. Thank the clover and ask for it to stop working. That's it, the mascot has become an ordinary decoration.
