Four-Leaf Clover Jewels
The four-leaf clover is one of the most recognizable symbols of luck. The fact that it’s so rare to find (roughly 1 in 5,000 chance) is just one of the reasons it’s considered lucky. That and the fact the leaves are meant to represent: hope, faith, love, and luck. Combine all of that and you can understand why jewelry designers (and jewelry lovers) often pick the four-leaf clover as a go-to talisman for all around good fortune. After all, who couldn’t use a little luck?
Lucky Ring
Ensure every day will be filled with luck, with this exceptionally mesmerizing verdant four-leaf clover ring by designer, Solange Azagury-Partridge who knows a thing or two about creating vibrant masterpieces. Some of which are part of the permanent exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Mini Leaf Studs
Melinda Zeman launched Boochier in 2019, a jewelry brand filled with “whimsical and nostalgic designs.” This clover is part of the “Nostalgia” collection that was inspired by the 90s Gameboy and like many games (current and past), these earrings have a captivating effect.

Petite Clover
“Yin Yang” pendants and “Tiered Fantasy” signet rings are just a few of Retrouvaí designer Kirsty Stone’s symbolic jewelry creations. So, it should come as no surprise to her fans that she’s created a more everyday (and accessible) clover pendant to add to her popular “Talisman Grandfather Clover” pendant collection. Talk about luck.

Vintage Alhambra
You can’t talk about clovers in jewelry, without mentioning Van Cleef & Arpels and their iconic “Alhambra” collection. Created in 1968, the “motif draws inspiration from the contours of the four-leaf clover.” Since the launch and still to this day, wearing an “Alhambra” piece is the most elegant way for one to find luck.
