Carnelian has been used in jewelry-making for millenia and is often associated with nobility. Since ancient times, many people have considered the carnelian a lucky stone. Over the centuries, this belief has grown elaborately. The English and French royal courts of the 18th century used a symbolic "gem language" to convey messages discreetly. The first letters of the gems set in brooches and other jewelry pieces conveyed a motto or sentiment. Thus, with the correct acrostic placement, wearing a carnelian brooch to dinner could mean you wish everyone "Good Luck."
 
According to the poet and writer Goethe:
Carnelian is a Talisman
It brings good luck to child and man:
If resting on an onyx ground, 
A sacred kiss imprint when found. 
It drives away all evil things; 
To thee and thine protection brings.
