About this Product
Bring luck wherever you go with this necklace, which has an honest-to-goodness, real four-leaf clover embedded inside of it (found in my neighborhood outside Boston). Antiqued silver tray, glass dome, and a vintage Rand McNally map of the Tuscany region of Italy in the background. Note: All proceeds from this sale go to charity.
So, here's the deal: I find a ton of four-leaf clovers. I don't know why, I just do, and I always have. I started running out of friends and family to give them to, so I wanted to share the love and the luck. One reason the Irish traditionally believed four-leaf clovers to be lucky (besides their relative rarity) is that the fourth leaf is said to symbolize God's grace. I like that -- I always feel kind of smiled upon when I spot one.
If you're looking for a special gift of grace, or just a bit of luck yourself, this handmade necklace is one of a kind. The pendant with the 4-leaf clover is 25mm, slightly larger than a quarter, and the black vinyl cord is 18 inches. (Also available with a silver-plated chain if desired, just let me know.)
Note: All proceeds from this sale ($25 after materials, shipping, and site fees) are donated to St. Jude's, Dana Farber, or Make-a-Wish; please note with your purchase if you have a preference between them, and if you'd like the donation to be made in anyone's honor (otherwise it will be made in your name). Thank you!

Meet the Maker
So, I'm a writer and a musician, not really a jewelry maker. But I find a ton of four-leaf clovers. I don't know why -- good eyesight? patience? genuine luck? -- but I just do, and I always have. When I started running out of friends and family to give them to, I decided to share the love and the luck with people who may need it.
One reason the Irish traditionally believed four-leaf clovers to be lucky (besides their relative rarity) is that the fourth leaf is said to symbolize God's grace. I like that. So if you're looking for a special gift of grace, or just a bit of good luck for yourself, hopefully you can find it here. I'll post pendants and key chains for sale as I make them -- and I'm open to any custom ideas you might dream up.
All proceeds from each sale ($25 after materials and GoImagine's 6% commission, much of which also goes to charity!) are donated to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, or the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. If you have a preference between these nonprofits, please let me know with your order. Also let me know if you'd like the donation to be made in someone's memory or honor as a gift - otherwise I'll make it in your name.
Since I started selling on Etsy back in 2017 (I'm closing that shop), I've been able to donate a total of $1,950 (!) in total proceeds to St. Jude's, Dana Farber, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation! Thank you for that.
Thanks for stopping by - and good luck!
How it’s Made
I find a lot of four-leaf clovers, and I keep them pressed flat in various books around the house (to my wife's eternal frustration, I'm sure). To make these necklaces, I trim a piece of background art or craft paper to size — a vintage Rand McNally map, in this case — and glue it into an imported silver-plated pendant tray, then put the clover in place, and use Diamond Glaze to glue the glass dome over the top.
