Be still our hearts!

This English luckenbooth ring radiates romance – we couldn’t help but fall in love at first sight! A Victorian-era piece, this luckenbooth ring is crafted in 14 carat gold, and is a conversion with excellent construction.

The ring features two gold hearts intertwined, similar to another luckenbooth ring we have in our repository here at the Curio. But what sets this ring apart is the beautiful bow atop both rings – drawing the two hearts together to beat as one. How romantic!

Also dazzling are the beautifully dainty pearls cabochon set along the two hearts; they exude a sweet shimmer that only further enhances the romantic silhouette.

Also romantic is the symbolism of this ring. The Scottish luckenbooth heart can be traced back to the 15th century. It was a traditional love token for the Scots, often given as a brooch for either a wedding or betrothal. But the luckenbooth also went by another name: the witch’s heart.

For children, luckenbooth – or witch hearts – were given as protection from the evil eye. But for lovers, these hearts were often given as deep professions of love. With an almost cheeky wink, a lover would bestow a luckenbooth to their beloved paramour as if to say “you’ve bewitched me with your heart!” Talk about romantic!

Entwined hearts are a common symbol in jewelry, but what sets apart luckenbooth hearts from others comes in the detailing. Luckenbooth hearts were often depicted with crowns, similar to Claddagh hearts, lending to the Scottish lineage from which they originated from.

And indeed, the bow atop this ring is very reminiscent of a crown! Coupled with the delicate foliate band, the Scottish design sensibilities shine through proudly and prominently.

A sweet and sentimental addition to any antique jewelry collection!
