This stunning vintage Luckenbooth brooch by Miracle showcases a gold-tone overlay set in pewter, adorned with a large emerald-colored crystal and smaller emerald green Bohemian glass cabochons in the coronet. The brooch features a beautiful floral motif, intricately designed to highlight the faux emerald rhinestones. Crafted in the United Kingdom, this piece reflects the enduring appeal of traditional Scottish jewelry, specifically the romantic and historically significant Luckenbooth design. The crown on top adds a regal touch, making this brooch a distinctive accessory for any vintage collection.
The Luckenbooth design gained popularity during the 16th century, notably during the reign of Mary Queen of Scots, who is believed to have brought this design back to Scotland from France. Named after the "locking booths" on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh where these trinkets were sold, the Luckenbooth brooches were traditionally exchanged between lovers as tokens of betrothal. They were also considered lucky charms, often pinned to infants' blankets to protect them from evil spirits. The historical significance and timeless design of this brooch make it a cherished piece that has been passed down through generations.
Accompanying this brooch is a complementary scarf designed by Patrick Francis from Ireland. The "Enchanted Forest" scarf is made from 100% pure silk and features a beautiful, mystical pattern. The soft and luxurious texture of the scarf pairs perfectly with the brooch, creating an elegant and sophisticated ensemble that pays homage to both Scottish heritage and modern design. This combination is ideal for anyone looking to add a touch of historical charm and elegance to their wardrobe.
