Fully hallmarked for Edinburgh in 1986 this "Luckenbooth" silver brooch is a fairly large size and super quality.
The Luckenbooth brooch is one of the most romantic Scottish symbols of love. So called because since the 15th century they were sold in the small lockable booths that lined the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
Destined to become a traditional wedding and engagement gifts this a lovely example of the Luckenbooth brooch features 2 intertwined hearts and a beautifully decorative crown and it benefits from a sturdy pin back and a rollover safety clasp to fasten.
Crowned heart jewellery represents loyalty to Scotland as well as love and affection, little wonder it has been a popular love token gift throughout history. If you are looking for that meaningful vintage piece to wear on your lapel this may be the one for you, good for the gents or the ladies, and highly collectible too!
