Since the 17th century, the Scottish Luckenbooth, a heart-shaped brooch featuring a crown above the heart or two intertwined hearts, has been a symbol of love, loyalty and fidelity. In addition to its romantic symbolism, it was also worn as a protective amulet to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. 
 
Sourced in France and curated by Paris-based Vivienne Birt for Chateau Love, this brooch embodies the timeless sophistication and meticulous artistry that defines our carefully selected chateau-worthy collection of luxurious antique and vintage jewelry.
