The handmade earrings created with the image of a lucky charm that is usually offered to Scottish brides is a very powerful symbol of the love of a groom. The Luckenbooth collection seen at Orkney also features brooches, pendants, and a pendant to dangle from a bracelet. Luckenbooth brooches originated in Edinburgh in the 16th century, where they were purchased by 'luck' or from closed stalls on the Royal Mile. Brides were offered as symbols of love or as lucky charms to ward off witches. These were also attached to a baby's shawl to prevent fairies or other unnatural beings from taking them away. The symbol was considered to protect the user from the evil eye.

The Luckenbooth design has a crown over one heart or two intertwined hearts. You will find many handmade brooches and earrings, pendants, and charms that have two hearts and are made of silver or gold. Similar styles and designs were observed in the Middle Ages in Europe, generally in the form of brooches.


The initial stalls in Edinburgh, where they were sold, were the first permanent outlets in the city, although they do not exist now as they were demolished in the 19th century. One of the city's best-known residents in ancient times was thought to have gifted a Luckenbooth pin, which was Mary Queen of Scots. She is said to have given a pin to her second husband, Lord Darnley.

The Scots and Orkney went to Canada and to the north of what is now the United States regarding the fur trade. They exchanged goods with indigenous peoples. In doing so, the Luckenbooth design became a popular item among Native Americans.

The jewelry was used to exchange skins captured by Native American hunters. A  list of 'Equivalents for the Barter of Goods and Fur' highlights how a small brooch can be exchanged for a raccoon or muscat fur. Heart-shaped insignia, primarily silver, were favored not only with the natives but also as treasured collectibles from their home, among the emigrated Scots.

Some wedding couples today choose to present Luckenbooth tokens for the good luck of their guests. Luckenbooth charms handmade in Orkney can be a special and cost-effective method of doing this. And also the charms could go with the handmade earrings that the bride wears.
