These hearts were also usually topped with a crown to symbolize loyalty.⁣\u003cbr\u003e⁣\u003cbr\u003eWitch's heart brooches became especially popular in Scotland where they were called \"Luckenbooths,\" named after the stalls in Edinburgh where they were sold. ⁣\u003cbr\u003e⁣\u003cbr\u003eWhile a single Luckenbooth is said to symbolize affection, a double Luckenbooth is a sign of true commitment. Fans of the Outlander show (minor spoiler) will remember that Murtagh gave a double Luckenbooth brooch to Jocasta. ⁣\u003cbr\u003e⁣\u003cbr\u003eThis incredible Victorian brooch is made of 900 silver and set with paste stones. The design is very unique, a crescent moon threaded through a witch's heart topped with a star! In Victorian jewelry, moons were a symbol of femininity and the moon goddess, while stars were often seem as a symbol of guidance. ⁣\u003cbr\u003e⁣\u003cbr\u003eWhat message do you think the original gifter of this brooch wanted to convey?⁣\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Measurements +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.75\" x .75\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Condition +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is in wonderful condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Please read +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age.
