Lucky Triquetra Copper Necklace

A shamrock is a young sprig, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity. The name shamrock comes from Irish seamróg and simply means "young clover".
 
Three was a sacred number to the Celts. The Trinity knot, with its three points, is thought to represent the triple aspect of Celtic gods.
