From Pelikan: The four-leaf clover is one of the most famous good luck charms. Each individual leaf of the four-leaf clover has a specific meaning: fame, wealth, faithful love, and glorious health and when combined, are believed to bring good luck. Additionally, the four parts of the clover indicate hope, happiness, heart and health as well as the compass points - east, west, south and north - with the four guardian spirits of direction unified into one central point. There is a million-to-one chance of finding a five-leaf clover - the individual parts of which are thought to bring love, wealth, health, luck and success, as well as prosperity and fortune. Pelikan’s Maki-e fountain pen “Four-Leaf Clover” depicts one five-leaf clover and six four-leaf clovers together with many three-leaf clovers and employs mother-of-pearl and cut-gold work amongst other techniques, to vividly recreate this good luck charm.
