Specification

After the coronation of King Charles III, you might be forgiven for thinking that you had seen everything to do with crowns.  However ....

 

A luckenbooth brooch is a type of brooch that originated in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 16th century. They were originally sold in small shops called luckenbooths, which were located near St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile. Luckenbooth brooches were often given as love tokens or lucky charms, and they were believed to have the power to ward off witches.

Luckenbooth brooches are typically heart-shaped. They are typically made of gold or silver, and they may be decorated with gemstones or other embellishments.  This brooch is called the Mary Queen of Scots luckenbooth and features intertwined hearts surmounted by a gorgeous crown.

Luckenbooth brooches are still popular today, and they are often worn as a symbol of Scottish heritage or love. They can be found in a variety of styles and materials, and they can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to any jewellery collection.

Here are some additional facts about luckenbooth brooches:
