Description

DATE: Late Victorian, c.1900 

This gorgeous antique charm features four "lucky" symbols. First, the toadstool- finding one in the forest is thought to bring good luck — like finding a lucky penny or four-leaf clover! The lucky clover (in green enamel), is pretty self explanatory - a genetic mutation means that these particular plants have one extra leaf and are therefore much rarer than their three-leaved cousins. The lady bug in known to symbolize good luck, protection and love... How sweet are these three together! And, as a little surprise, the head of the toadstool opens up to reveal the classic lucky piggy. Its modelled in 15k yellow gold throughout and dates from the turn of the century, circa 1900.
