A wonderful, whimsical ring crafted in 18 karat yellow gold this French cutie has double clover motifs in turquoise cabochons and seed pearls. The fad of pairing 'Persian' turquoise with seed pearls became popular after Queen Victoria of England married Prince Albert. Jewelry made with this combination were commissioned by the couple to give as gifts to their wedding party. Although rivals with the English, the chic French couldn't help but admire the young and fashionable new queen, and styles from London spilled over to Europe and the Americas with alacrity. A fun, fancy little trinket, sure to bring luck to you whenever you wear it!
