The Four-Leaf Clover: Your Good Luck Charm in Love

The four-leaf clover brings not only prosperity and health but also love. By slipping it into the pocket of your loved one, you could bind them to you forever.


Meaning of the Lucky Clover as Jewelry


As we have seen previously, each leaf of the clover has a specific meaning that it imparts to the jewelry that represents it. The four-leaf clover could be seen as four hearts held together by their tips. Each of these leaves has a particular meaning: hope, faith, love, and luck. These are things we all dream of seeing in our lives!


Here is a more detailed explanation:


The Leaf of Hope: This leaf helps us understand that, although we should not try to change things over which we have no control, we must never lose hope. The sky takes on shades of orange at sunrise and sunset, a color that gives us hope that the sun sets only to rise again. This aspect makes our Irish symbol so appropriate for designating this courageous people.


The Leaf of Faith: Nothing can be done without hope and trust, keep your faith, keep the right attitude. If you are grateful every day, you will see God open new doors.


The Leaf of Love: There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. True love is hard to find, but you must trust and continue to hope to find it one day. Perhaps, around the corner, you will meet the one destined to make you happy." Unshared feelings are the source of much torment. To favor their fate, the girls from Cher bathed a four-leaf clover in holy water before keeping the plant on them. Albanians suffering from unrequited love entrusted a four-leaf clover to the priest of their parish. If he showed compassion, he would place the plant in the ciborium containing the hosts for thirty-nine days. On the fortieth day, the priest blessed the now hopeful lovers, before returning the magical clover to them. One touch of the plant on the loved one was said to trigger an irresistible attraction!


"The little Malakoff found another four-leaf clover. I will send it to you." This excerpt from a telegram sent by Empress Eugenie to her son Napoleon III at the start of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 shows that the highest strata of society believed just as much as the peasants in the lucky virtues of the four-leaf clover. Love: A solitary life, compounded by the looks of commiseration from those around, can be a source of sorrow. In 1898, Savoyard girls fearing to "wear the cap of Saint Catherine" went to the fields in search of a four-leaf clover that would ensure them a marriage within the year. Like Cupid, the plant is also capable of sowing loving feelings in previously indifferent hearts. Desperate Vosgians used to insert a four-leaf clover between the church altar and its cloth. Once mass was said, the love-struck slipped this clover into a bouquet before offering it to the coveted one.
