In Latin, quatrefoil means four leaves, and its design often evokes the shape of a flower or four-leaved clover when used in jewelry. The motif reached a height of popularity in the Gothic and Renaissance eras, but its existence can be traced as far back as to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. Its symbolism has changed over time, signifying among other things good luck, the four corners of the earth, or harmony and symmetry.
