One of the most romantic of Scottish symbols since the 1700`s, Luckenbooth pendants traditionally feature a pair of intertwined hearts surrounding a Scottish thistle and the crown of Mary, Queen of Scots. The name comes from their sale from the Luckenbooths or `locked booths`, small stalls at the green of the St. Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. This style of pendant has a long and romantic history and was traditionally exchanged between lovers at the time of betrothal. They would then be pinned to their infant`s blanket or shawl to guard the baby from the curse of evil spirits or the sithean (fairy spirits). This sterling silver Luckenbooth pendant is one inch tall, 5/8 of an inch wide, with beautiful workmanship and wonderful detail. It can be used either as a necklace pendant or a charm for a bracelet. The bail can fit a necklace up to 3mm thick.
