Saint Patrick's Day: Jewelry for Good Luck!
St. Patrick’s day is observed every year on March 17th to celebrate Irish culture and the legacy of Saint Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland. Supposed to commemorate the death of St. Patrick in the fifth century, this holiday has been celebrated in Ireland for over 1,000 years.
Originally a Catholic holiday, St. Patrick’s Day was initially celebrated with church services, as well as treated as a break in the season of Lent, during which exceptions could be made to the rules of fasting and observers could dance, drink, and feast on colcannon.
St. Patrick’s Day remains a popular holiday in many countries, especially those which boast a strong Irish heritage. A celebration of such heritage and the beautiful Emerald Isle, many of the magical and symbolic elements of Ireland are worn or displayed with pride. Green clothes, chocolate gold coins, Guinness, and lucky charms are among the many icons at play on this special day.
To complement your own festive getup, here are some of our luckiest pieces of jewelry to bring good fortune your way this St. Patrick’s Day!
Four Leaf Clover Charm Bracelet
Is there a more iconic symbol of Ireland than the four-leaf clover?
These four leaves represent faith, hope, love, and luck. Wear this clover as a little reminder to actively seek and manifest them in your day-to-day life.
Plated with 24k gold and set among a full string of your chosen gemstone, this charm is sure to bring the luck of the Irish to all of your March 17th shenanigans.
Wishbone Mixed Metal Necklace
Wishbones are one of the oldest lucky charms, dating all the way back to the Etruscan Civilization and the belief that the divine power of bird bones could predict the future.
Now, you can carry your own wishbone and channel its power without having to actually go and collect any bones!
This elegant 15mm gold wishbone necklace carries good fortune and symbolizes promises to come.
Aventurine Meaningful Bracelet
Sometimes known as The Gambler’s Stone or The Stone of Opportunity, aventurine carries unmatched forces of luck and enchantment.
Aventurine doesn’t fool with mystery but conspicuously presents itself as a talisman of luck and prosperity with tones starkly reverberative of vibrant, lush fields of clover.
Wear this lucky stone in a beautiful gemstone bracelet, and dazzle with a green that’s reminiscent of Ireland’s own beautiful hills.
Gold Lucky Number Necklace
Not all lucky charms are universal; sometimes the most meaningful tokens of luck are strictly personal. With literally infinite options, a special number can recall any of the many special or luck-woven events from which it derives its meaning.
This customizable Gold Lucky Number Necklace allows you to source your own luck and to have your unique lucky number (up to three digits) imprinted onto a beautiful gold plate that can be worn around your neck anywhere you go.
Good luck to you on March 17th, and Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! (That’s “Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you” in the traditional Irish language!)
