Traditional Luckenbooth short drop earrings featuring a triple designed entwined Scottish Thistle.

This item is part of the Luckenbooth collection. Originally the heart shaped luckenbooth was given, in the 16th century, at weddings and engagements as a token of love. From the 18th century onwards they were worn to protect against evil spirits. The name comes from the locking booths or small shops, a feature of Edinburghs Royal Mile.
