Hand made Luckenbooth brooch in sterling silver. The heart is wax cast from an original carving and the pin is hand forged from 925 sterling silver wire. 

The Luckenbooth brooch is a traditional Scottish love token, often given as a betrothal or wedding brooch. It might be worn by a nursing mother as a charm to help her milk flow, and/or be pinned to a baby's clothing to protect it from harm. It was known as a witch-brooch by people using it to save children from the evil eye.

Please note, you are buying a handmade piece of jewellery and we will not always have it in stock and I may require some time to make it!

If you want this in other materials such as gold please email me for a quote at caledonianforge@gmail.com We are always open to alter and change any of our pieces to suit your tastes. In the listing the piece might look darker than the finished piece. We artificially darken our silver pieces with liver of sulfur so that the details will show up in photographs but as standard the finished piece will be shiny and polished. If you'd prefer us to darken it then please let us know and we will happily do this for you.

This has been hand carved in wax and cast in high quality by Jewellery casting Scotland and finished with a mixture of power tools and traditional hand tools like files and saws.

All our packaging is 100% paper. No plastic at all.

We will not hallmark as standard, but if you do desire hallmarking then please ask us, otherwise it will be sent unhallmarked. This service will take up to an additional two weeks. - Furthermore, sometimes we will have this piece already hallmarked if it is already made, so if you do not wish this to be hallmarked, please let us know
