Although St. Patrick's Day is originally a religious holiday in honor or Saint Patrick, one of the most commonly recognized patron saints of Ireland, you need not be Irish to celebrate this festive day. Many people wear green on March 17th to catch the luck of the Irish. Green also symbolizes the coming of spring and the iconic lucky shamrock, and is connected with hope and nature. School children adopted the tradition of pinching those not wearing green, but this tradition continues as adults affectionately pinch those caught going green-less.
Whatever March 17th means to you (the celebration of nature or luck, while driking a tall glass of Guinness and eating corned beef and cabbage), we've put together some green jewelry to inspire your day. Some of our favorite green pieces include the (pictured from left to right in photo):
