Jewelry Superstitions & Good Luck Charms for Spring
The Stories Behind Protective Gemstones & Symbolic Designs
Jewelry isn't just about style—it has long been worn as a symbol of luck, protection, and positive energy. With spring representing renewal and fresh beginnings, it's the perfect time to explore the history of good luck charms and gemstones believed to bring fortune, prosperity, and happiness.
Four-Leaf Clovers & Other Lucky Symbols
A four-leaf clover is a rare find, which is why it's associated with good luck. Each leaf represents love, faith, hope, and luck (of course). Similarly, horseshoes are thought to attract good fortune. Many believe horseshoes are best worn with the heels facing upward to "catch" and hold onto good luck.
Lucky Zodiac
While snakes may make some people squirm, to many, they are welcome symbols of luck, transformation, and change. The year 2025 is considered to be the year of the snake, following the Chinese zodiac. Given that snakes are thought to be good problem-solvers, the year ahead may bring good fortune and luck to those who are prepared to take calculated risks.
Gemstones for Positive Energy
Certain gemstones are thought to have powerful energies, keen for attracting good fortune.
Diamond (April Birthstone) – Symbolizing strength, clarity, and abundance, diamonds have long been believed to attract success.
Emerald (May Birthstone) – A stone of rebirth and renewal, emeralds bring good health and harmony.
Turquoise – A universal symbol of protection and luck, turquoise is often gifted to loved ones for safe travels and prosperity.
Amethyst – Said to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health and protect the immune system. If you have only one gemstone, it might as well be Amethyst, as it is also known to bolster the immune system, reduce tension and headaches, and promote restful sleep.
Moon & Star Jewelry for Guidance
Widely considered signs of divine attention or promise, celestial symbols like crescent moons and stars have been worn for centuries to represent guidance, wisdom, hopes, and dreams. The moon is often associated with feminine energy and intuition, while our wishing stars symbolize hope and inspiration.
How to Wear Your Good Luck Charms
You don't have to believe in superstitions to enjoy the beauty and lore of these symbols and special materials. Whether you wear a snake ring as a daily protective charm, stack a few cherished lucky gemstone bracelets, or gift a star-shaped pendant to a loved one, these meaningful designs make stunning, thoughtful additions to any jewelry collection.
