Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas Reveals the Meaning Behind His Van Cleef Necklace

It turns out Miguel Rojas World Series jewelry has more than just shine - it has soul.

The Los Angeles Dodgers infielder, fresh off a championship season, has opened up about the story behind his now-famous Van Cleef & Arpels clover necklace, a piece that became one of baseball’s most talked-about accessories during the playoffs.

“It’s a reminder of where I came from and what I’ve overcome,” Rojas told E! News. “Baseball gave me everything, but family kept me grounded. This necklace represents that — the people who believed in me when I had nothing.”

The Story Behind the Clover

The four-leaf clover design — a Van Cleef signature — was a gift from Rojas’ wife, who presented it to him during spring training as a symbol of luck and perseverance. He wore it through the Dodgers’ playoff run, never taking it off, even during batting practice.

Fans began to notice the sparkling white-gold piece catching the light under Dodger Stadium’s floodlights, and by the time the team reached the World Series, it had become a good-luck charm of its own.

“I told her I’d wear it until we won,” Rojas laughed. “And when we did, I told her it’s never coming off.”

A Symbol of Faith and Family

Rojas, 36, said the necklace serves as a personal link to his mother, who still lives in Venezuela. The piece is engraved with a small cross and his daughter’s initials — hidden details only visible on close inspection.

“It’s not about luxury,” he said. “It’s about carrying home with me, no matter where I play.”

Teammates have joked that the necklace has “postseason powers,” with shortstop Mookie Betts calling it “the most clutch accessory in baseball.”

Baseball, But Make It Fashion

Athletes have increasingly blurred the line between sportswear and high fashion, and Rojas is no exception. His off-field style, which mixes designer pieces with vintage Dodgers memorabilia, has drawn comparisons to NBA players’ tunnel fits.

“Baseball used to be all uniforms and cleats,” Rojas said. “Now it’s about expressing yourself — and I’m proud to represent that shift.”

Van Cleef & Arpels, known for its Alhambra collection, confirmed that inquiries for men’s designs spiked after Rojas’ televised appearances during the Series.

The Takeaway

For Rojas, the necklace isn’t a statement piece — it’s a symbol of survival, family, and faith worn proudly on baseball’s biggest stage.

“Winning is temporary,” he said. “But meaning — that’s what you carry forever.”
