Lucky charms shapes - for example, 4 leaf clovers, horseshoes and rabbits feet - have evolved from many different cultures and are usually changed and adapted in the process.

There is a saying "the luck of the Irish" and many good luck charms have an Irish pedigree. Leprechauns, 4 leaf clovers and shamrock charms all have this Irish heritage.

Whereas the lucky rabbit foot traveled from Africa with the people stolen and sold into slavery and was adopted within a new country. Originally, African tribesmen would wear the foot of a speedy animal as a talisman to confer speed on themself - now we wear a lucky rabbit foot charm instead.

Horseshoes used to be made from iron which is a magnetic substance so that horseshoe charms are considered lucky as they were believed to draw money to you just as an iron horseshoe would draw other magnetic metals to it. It was also associated with one of England's favorite Saints - St Dunstan who had worked as a blacksmith.

Chinese good luck charms are very popular at the moment. It is certainly an easier and more practical way of wearing a Chinese symbol than having a tattoo!

And, of course Italy is home to the Italian horn charm which is believed to ward off the evil eye.

The Kabbalah red string bracelet is another style of charm bracelet for warding off the evil eye whilst also being a strongly religious amulet.
