Four Leaf Clover Earrings

Somewhere in a patch of white clover, if you look long enough and get very lucky, you might find one. Not because someone put it there, but because of a quiet genetic accident. A recessive gene expressing itself in an extra leaflet where there should only be three. Scientists estimate roughly one in five thousand clover plants carries this variation. Which means every four leaf clover you have ever found was genuinely, statistically rare. White Clover and the Lucky Leaf White clover is one of the most important plants in any lawn or meadow. Its flowers feed dozens of native bee species throughout the summer. The four leaf variation is not a different plant at all. It is the same humble white clover, carrying a quiet genetic surprise in one of its leaves. The folklore around them is ancient and widespread across many cultures, and perhaps that is because finding one really does require an unusual combination of patience, luck, and paying attention to the ground beneath your feet. The Earrings Each clover was made entirely by hand in sterling silver. The four rounded leaflets were shaped and textured individually before being joined at the center. The long stem is a single elegant length of sterling silver wire that threads through your ear from the front, leaving the clover sitting just at the surface while the stem trails quietly behind. It is a simple and striking look. Most people will not immediately understand what they are seeing, and then they will. Each earring measures approximately 2.5 inches from the top of the clover to the end of the stem Sterling silver throughout Threader style ear wire Made to order Please allow approximately one week before your order ships Made to Order Each pair is made just for you after you place your order. Because every clover is shaped by hand, no two pairs will ever be exactly alike. Yours will be its own quiet, lucky thing. A Note from Tamara I bring these back every spring when the white clover is blooming. There is something that feels right about making them in the season when you might actually find one. If you are reading this outside of spring and would still love a pair, please reach out and I will do my best to make it happen for you. Shipping Made to order pieces ship within approximately one week of your order date. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your earrings are on their way.
