Luckenbooths are heart-shaped brooches which were traditionally exchanged between lovers on betrothal and were subsequently pinned to the baby's shawl to protect the child from evil spirits. The name Luckenbooth comes from their sale in the "locked booths" around St. Giles' Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
This Luckenbooth brooch features a plain design with the stone set insert of your choice and was made in Scotland by Gaelic Themes from the finest quality pewter. The brooch is supplied in a stunning presentation box.
