Who doesn’t want good luck to be on their side? We certainly do!
Throughout history, people have worn and carried different symbols to repel bad vibes and maintain peace, prosperity, and balance in their lives. And while there’s no scientific backing for the same, people still continue to wear them for different reasons, including fashion.
If you happen to be on the hunt for good luck symbols that you can flaunt in the form of jewellery, then take a look at these four beautiful options…
1. Clover
It’s no surprise that the clover features first on our list. The leaves of this plant are believed to represent faith, hope, love and luck.
The four-leaf clover has also appeared frequently in age-old legends, especially those belonging to the Celtic culture, where it was known as the shamrock. Thanks to Saint Patrick of Ireland, the clover eventually got recognised as a holy plant. Even today, people consider it a sacred symbol that can ward of negativity and attract all things good.
We think a great way to flaunt the pretty clover would be to wear it in the form of dangle earrings.
2. Horseshoe
Who doesn’t recognise the horseshoe? It’s quirky and comes packed with an interesting (and somewhat spooky) backstory.
Some ancient folklores suggest that the devil approached a blacksmith one day and asked him to create horseshoes. The blacksmith complied and hammered them into the devil’s hooves with iron nails. The devil shrieked in pain and begged him to take it off. He promised that he would respect the horseshoe and would never enter a house that had one hanging outside the door.
Moral of the story? Get yourself a nice horseshoe pendant and keep away the bad vibes, while looking stylish!
3. Shooting Star
Did you know? In the ancient Greece, the miraculous sight of a shooting star was meant to represent the rise and fall of the human spirit. But for most of us, it has now become the perfect opportunity to wish for something that we dearly desire.
A shooting star, therefore, represents hope and is also recognised as a symbol of dreams coming true. So why not carry it with you in the form of a beautiful piece of jewellery?
We recommend opting for a design that’s embellished with diamonds for a stunning and starry effect.
4. Wishbone
Particularly famous in the USA, the wishbone is a well-recognised symbol of good luck. It is often linked to the popular Thanksgiving tradition wherein two people tug on the different ends of the V-shaped turkey bone until it breaks. The idea behind this practise is that whoever gets the bigger piece of the bone will have their wish come true.
Now you can just carry wishbone jewellery with you as a sparkling reminder of your ability to dream big and turn it into a reality.
Parting Note
Needless to say, good luck symbols have always held a prominent place in our lives. Glittering gems have the ability to make these designs even more special. So wait no more, and get yourself your very own good luck charm.
