How beautifully, how delightfully the luxurious materials of this fine little lapel pin shine and sparkle. Selected gemstones, an intense green emerald from Colombia, a fiery red ruby from Burma and two frosty, sparkling old-cut diamonds, probably from South Africa, are set in high-carat gold. It is a cloverleaf that the goldsmith created in the years around 1900 with these precious gifts of nature. We know the clover today primarily as a symbol of luck (it is not for nothing that the clover is also the model for the playing card suit "cross", French "trèfle" = clover). In earlier times, the leaves of this plant were also known as a symbol of love! The German Wikipedia refers to Gottfried von Strasbourg's Tristan and Isolde, in which Isolde wears a clover headdress in the shape of a ripe hoop when the lovers meet. Medieval love poetry also made the "green clover" the place where lovers met. Whichever meaning you choose, this pin for your tie or lapel is definitely a sparkling highlight, an eye-catcher and a hidden teasing statement!
