On St. Patrick's Day, wearing green is the whole dress code. But you do not need a sparkly hat or a novelty T-shirt to join in. A pair of green St. Patrick's Day earrings or a hand-painted necklace can carry the theme on its own, and you will keep wearing it long after March 17. Every piece here is shaped from earthen clay, baked and painted by hand by artisans in India.
Quick answer: The easiest way to finish a St. Patrick's Day outfit is with green jewelry you will wear again. The Kiwi & Watermelon set and the Heart Pendant with Green Wooden Beads both come as earrings only, necklace only or the full set, and the Zig-Zag drops add green with a mix of bright colors.
Why jewelry beats a costume
- It is subtle. Green earrings say "I remembered" at the office without a costume.
- It lasts past March. Fresh greens look right all spring and summer.
- It is comfortable. Clay is light, so you can wear it from the morning to the evening parade or pub.
Our St. Patrick's Day jewelry picks
Kiwi & Watermelon Clay Necklace & Earrings Set
The Kiwi & Watermelon Clay Necklace & Earrings Set is shaped and painted by hand in fresh greens and reds. The pendant necklace sits on an adjustable strap, and you can buy the earrings only, the necklace only or the full set. The kiwi slices bring the green; the playful fruit theme keeps it fun.
Heart Pendant with Green Wooden Beads
The Heart Pendant with Green Wooden Beads pairs a square terracotta heart pendant with wooden beads in soft green tones. The necklace is adjustable, and the design also comes with matching earrings or as earrings only. It is a gentle way to wear green if you like a quieter look.
Zig-Zag Oval Drop Earrings
Want green without going all in? The Zig-Zag Oval Drop Earrings have a hand-painted chevron in teal, orange, green and yellow on gold-finished brass ear wires. They are listed at 1.5 inches long and 15 grams, and they are $19.90.
Colorful Clay Music Theme Jewelry Set
Heading to a parade with a marching band, or a pub with live music? The Colorful Clay Music Theme Jewelry Set is hand-painted with musical notes and bright geometric shapes. It is more rainbow than green, so pair it with a green top.

St. Patrick's Day outfit ideas
At the office
A cream sweater or white button-down with the Heart Pendant and its green wooden beads. Green enough for the day, polished enough for a meeting.
At the parade
Jeans, a green flannel or jacket and the Zig-Zag drops. They are light, so they stay comfortable for a long day outside.
At the pub
A black top lets the Kiwi & Watermelon set do the talking. For a little extra fun, see our beer mug pairs in funny and quirky earrings.
For brunch with friends
A green dress with simple, light earrings. Our boho jewelry collection has more colorful pairs that work with green.
Caring for your clay jewelry
Keep your pieces away from water, perfume and creams, wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and store each one separately in its cloth bag. A spilled drink at the pub is worth avoiding.
