Originally the heart shaped luckenbooth was given, in the 16th century, at weddings and engagements as a token of love. From the 18th century onwards they were worn to protect against evil spirits.
This stylish brooch shows the Luckenbooth heart which has been used since the 16th Century. The name comes from the locking booths or small shops - a feature of Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
