The beauty of traditional jewelry is captured in the Luckenbooth design. The Luckenbooth is one of the most romantic Scottish symbols of love, from the 17th century and often given as a token of betrothal, love and friendship. It is usually in the shape of a heart or two entwined hearts, symbolizing love, with a crown, symbolizing loyalty, topping the hearts.

In addition, a couple may pin a Luckenbooth to their firstborn’s blanket as a good luck charm. A beautiful gift for a newlywed couple or anyone with a new baby!

****As a Protection Token
The Luckenbooth, made of pure sterling silver, symbolizes both love and protection because, when a couple has a child, the brooch or necklace would be put on the baby to ward off evil.
