True Love Luckenbooth Brooch

Description

Solid Sterling Silver

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

The Luckenbooth brooch is a traditional Scottish love token, often given as a engagement, wedding or love token - especially to a new bride as a traditional memento of her wedding day. It might be worn by a nursing mother as a charm of protection or be pinned to a baby's clothing.

The Luckenbooth brooch is similar to the Claddagh design, also using the heart and crown. Heart-shaped pins in parts of Europe date back to late medieval times - making this a unique and beautiful gift!

This lovely 2" x 1 3/4" solid sterling silver brooch will be cherished for a lifetime.
