The shamrock, as legend tells is a lucky charm. These sparkling clovers hang from a chandelier and will brighten up any room for spring. Do you come from Irish ancestry? If so, all month long they will be a great reminder of where you came from! If not, then maybe a little bit of luck will come to you.
