The
Luckenbooth (two intertwined hearts with a crown)
is a Scottish symbol of love, dating back to the 17th
century and often given as a token of betrothal,
affection and friendship. It is usually of engraved
silver in the shape of a heart or two hearts entwined
with a crown usually topping the heart(s).

heart (love) and crown (loyalty) both appear on
the claddagh ring too.
Sometimes
a couple pinned a Luckenbooth to their
firstborn's blanket as a good luck charm. Luckenbooth
