Charles Garnier Lucky Charm Bracelet

I personally like  symbolic jewelry.  There are many designer rings, earrings, pendants, and charms that are engraved, embossed, or shaped as symbols associated with good luck.  Shamrocks or four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, pennies, ladybugs and rabbits feet are all easily recognizable and popular symbols found in jewelry.  Less known symbols that I’m seen include Chinese characters, dragonflies, and Egyptian scarabs.  “Good luck” jewelry can be found crafted in a wide array of metals, from fine gold or silver to less costly alloys.  Stylized pieces may be embellished with diamonds, gemstones, or crystals.  Regardless, symbolic jewelry is fun and noticeable.  I’m open-minded about whether or not the jewelry will actually improve the wearer’s fortune, but it certainly can’t hurt.
