No matter what jewelry you pick for your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, the wearing of green comes from a centuries-old tradition. Irish immigrants in the 19th century would wear the color in America to show pride for their homeland. Now the wearing of green is tied more to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns that will pinch those not wearing the color of the holiday. Others think it simply brings good luck or wear it to their honor Irish heritage.
Be parade and party ready this March with anything from a subtle shamrock or Celtic cross to beautiful green gems. You may be honoring your own heritage or just celebrating the fun day with loved ones. Either way, we’re all a little bit Irish on March 17th. No matter what you choose, grab your favorite jewelry so you can stay lucky all day long!
