 This Brooch is in the traditional Luckenbooth form popular in Scottish Jewellery. It is made from fully hallmarked scottish silver and can be dated to 1971.
 The Luckenbooth design is probably the most romantic in the history of Silver smithing in Scotland. Said to have been designed as the betrothal brooch for Mary Queen of Scots from the Dauphin of France whom she married in 1558 hence the two hearts surmounted by the crown, the name derives from the “locked Booths” near St Giles in Edinburgh where the design was copied and sold for betrothal ( brooches were given instead of rings in those days) and later, when pinned to the baby’s shawl the Luckenbooth gave the child protection from Evil Spirits, Deamons and Wicked Faeries.
