Lady Anne Luckenbooth Brooch in Sterling Silver

Solid Sterling Silver

The Scottish Thistle has come a long way with its delicate flower heads, sharp thorns, and its defiant ability to flourish. It is a beautiful flower which has always bloomed across Scotland's landscape, but it wasn't until the 13th century that it's placed in the country's symbolism!

Throughout Celtic regions, the thistle represents bravery, devotion, durability, strength, and determination. This beautiful sterling silver Luckenbooth pin honors the Celtic traditions and would make a wonderful gift for any new bride or loved one!

****As a Protection Token

The Luckenbooth, made of pure sterling silver, symbolizes both love and protection because, when a couple has a child, the brooch or necklace would be put on the baby to ward off evil. Especially in the Highlands, Scots were superstitious. The Luckenbooth was believed to help to make sure the baby wasn’t a changeling, swapped by fairies.
