Four-leaf clover bracelet – gold-plated silver

Four-leaf clover bracelet in gold-plated silver with a handmade four-leaf clover from Flora Danica. The four leaves of the four-leaf clover represent faith, hope, love – and the fourth and very rare leaf represents luck. The four-leaf clover used to create this small brooch was picked in Denmark in the 1950s. At the time, Flora Danica was the first – and only – company in the world that could gold-plate and thus immortalize flowers.

The story of Flora Danica jewelry dates back to 1952, when one of the beloved variety artists of the 1930s, Orla Eggert, developed the idea of making jewelry based on nature's unique designs.

The first Flora Danica jewelry was based on a copper plating of flowers and leaves, which was skillfully transformed by skilled professionals into a piece of jewelry that was subsequently plated with 22 karat gold.

Already in the 1960s, Flora Danica was having difficulty obtaining all the flowers and leaves that were needed for the rapidly growing production. It was especially difficult to obtain all the four-leaf clovers that customers requested. Therefore, there was a regular advertisement in the newspaper encouraging people to hand in four-leaf clovers every Sunday - and as a reward there was one krone per four-leaf clover.

To keep up with the increasing demand, the company started producing the jewelry in solid sterling silver in the 1970s. The jewelry was - and still is to this day - based 100% on the original casts of flowers and leaves from Danish nature in the 1950s and 60s.
