Antique 14K & 9K Lucky 13 Conversion Ring

During the Victorian Era it became popular to dabble in the world of the Occult. Seances were held as evening entertainment at many gatherings, Tarot decks were studied, and fortune tellers were avidly sought. Good luck trinkets were given and worn as fashionable protection charms, especially toward the latter part of the period and into the Edwardian Era. While the number thirteen is seen today as a bad omen, some European countries considered it to be a lucky number. Notedly, many Italians believed the number to bring luck, wealth, and even divine favor. This belief may stem from ancient pagan traditions. The number thirteen was associated with the goddess of fertility and lunar cycles. It was later absorbed into folk beliefs and even melded with Christian themes. Crafted from a 9 karat Lucky Thirteen charm, this conversion ring has a 14 karat shank. A cheeky little number, sure to become a favorite in your collection!
