Gold plated enamel peach heart clover bracelet four leaf bangle

Most people have had unlucky events happen in their lives, but typically these unlucky events are followed rather quickly by lucky ones. For me that definitely wasn't the case, it seemed that everything that I did the year I turned twenty five turned out to be unlucky, a bad decision or a complete disaster. 

While not a superstitious person, I do believe that some people are just lucky while others aren't. It seemed that for some reason, my luck had really changed and not for the better. My promotion turned out to be a dead end job, my boyfriend left and even my new apartment turned out to have more problems that I could have ever imagined.

My sister suggested that I stop thinking about all the unlucky things in my life and start making my own luck. I just laughed and told her you couldn't make luck, but she smiled and told me you could by just thinking about positives and avoiding negative thoughts. 

This was an interesting concept and well worth a shot to change my luck around. I decided on a collection of gold charms that symbolized luck from all around the world as a way to constantly keep thinking and visualizing positive, lucky thoughts. 

I selected charms and Peach Heart Clover Bracelet rather than necklaces because I would always be able to see the charms, plus I could wear as many gold charms as I wanted on the bracelet, whereas I could only wear one pendant on a necklace. 

Finding charm bracelets wasn't a problem as I decided to shop online. I was also amazed at the variety of luck themed gold charms available. I selected the traditional four leaf clover right off, and then also added a pair of dice and a horseshoe charm, all very traditional symbols of luck. 

What I didn't realize is that there are gold charms that actually include the words "good luck" as part of the design. I choose two different varieties of these charms for bracelets; after all you can't get much more positive than that. 

Finally I added gold charms of the lucky Italian horn, a wishing well and a wishbone, as well as a charm of the Hebrew word mazel which means good luck. Surprisingly within a week of starting to wear my gold charms and focusing on the positive I was offered a new job and am moving out of my old apartment. Who knows, maybe my sister did know what she was talking about after all!
