The pot of gold is considered lucky because gold is associated with wealth and fortune.
Many folklore involve finding treasures, such as pots of gold.
Of all the Irish myths that exist, the story of leprechauns and their pots of gold seems to have infiltrated American culture the most. You can’t go anywhere around St. Patrick’s Day without seeing posters of rosy-cheeked, red-haired fairies sliding down rainbows into cauldrons of gold.
There are many old European stories describing fictitious creatures that hoard treasures. Many brave souls have tried to find their fortunes under the belly of a sleeping dragon or even in the furthest of depths of a mermaid’s sunken shipyard.
For those who might be fearful of fire and water, there is another fiery folk known for its vast stash—leprechauns. With a bit of cunning and a lot of luck, it is said that if you catch a leprechaun, he will tell you where his pot of gold is hidden. Beware, however, as the leprechaun is smarter than the average wood nymph, and you may be tricked into looking for gold at the ever-elusive end of the rainbow.
Look no further though, as you have found your perfect little pot of gold with this piece! Charms contain a pot of gold, a lucky four leaf clover, a bell to attract leprechauns and fairy’s, and a bar of gold.
