Kit de broche à broder de perles « Feuille porte-bonheur »

Good luck leaf is a four-leaf clover in which three leaves are green and the fourth is gold.

What the picture shows

Three leaves are worked in dark green beads, each holding a large emerald drop in a fine beaded setting. The fourth, at the upper right, is laid in yellow and gold beads with a round amber stone at its centre — the leaf that makes the clover lucky. Every petal is traced with a row of gold beads, and the outer contour runs in pale green. Where the leaves meet, a clear navette catches the light. A short stem of gold chain hangs below. Fifteen colours stay within green, gold and amber, and the printed scheme keeps its tone in the gaps between beads.
