A special gift for a lucky dear friend, a rustic medieval four leaf clover wax seal necklace pendant with a four leaf clover quatrefoil surrounded by the French legend that reads LEL AMI AVETV and translates YOU HAVE A FAITHFUL FRIEND (LOVER).

“A best friend is like a four leaf clover ... hard to find and lucky to have!”

- symbolism -
Legend has it that each leaf on a four leaf clover represents something different ... the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love and the fourth is for luck.
In heraldry, the quatrefoil brings good tidings.

Hand crafted from a 14th century Medieval bronze chessman seal that dates back to the 1300 - 1400’s, and shown in the photo. It was unearthed in Norfolk, England after spending centuries in the ground.

Interestingly, the four leaf clover could actually be Paris quadrifolia (meaning four leaves) or herb Paris, which is also known as true love or true lovers knot with its four leaves paired like lovers because it bears a resemblance to the loops of the true lover's knot.  This makes sense if the legend LEL AMI AVETV means YOU HAVE A FAITHFUL LOVER.

Impressed with history!
