The Luckenbooth brooch is a traditional Scottish love token, often given as a betrothal or wedding brooch. It might be worn by a nursing mother as a charm to help her milk flow, and/or be pinned to a baby's clothing to protect it from harm. It was known as a witch-brooch by people using it to save children from the evil eye.
I love making these little brooches, they’re actually one of my best sellers! We currently have a bunch of them ready for immediate dispatch. You can find them on my website - link here https://caledonianforge.com/products/handmade-in-scotland-luckenbooth-brooch-in-sterling-silver

| 4 |  +3Been playing about with this idea for years now, but I've finally done it, and thought I had it for sale for a couple of months now but apparently I didn't so eh, here it is!
This is a ring based on the pennaular clasp from the Whitecleuch massive Pictish silver neck chain found in Lanarkshire, Scotland. It's a big chunky sort of thing, but I've found it's relitavely comfortable to wear all day, but not so much to sleep with. So more a statement ring kind of thing than say a wedding ring.
Tats are taken from Pictish stone carvings in Angus and Moray | 651 |
| 5 | +1 Gold plated bronze Lolland hammer. The runes apparently say "hamar is" and is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that these amulets do infact portray hammers. | 4 358 |
| 6 | A bunch of hammers I made recently using exact measurements and close study of artefacts found across England. Unclear if they are all norse or if one or two are pagan Saxon in origin. There are some theories that shorter handles = equal norse and longer handles mean they don't come from Scandinavia but I can't imagine that everyone knew the story of the dwarves breaking Mjolnir during it's making at the time, though longer handled hammers do seem to be more common in Germany | 522 |
| 7 | +3 Based on a fascinating gold artefact from the Anglo Saxon era known as "The Ord Cross" found near Berwick upon Tweed (c.AD700-900). there are theories this could have belonged to the Bishop of the holy island of Lindesfarne, and was dropped during the procession with the remains of St Cuthbert during the height of the Viking invasion of Northumbria.
Runes are presumed to say "Eadruf" but may be a misspelling.
Hand sculpted and sand cast in solid 9ct gold, fully hallmarked by Edinburgh assay office. | 564 |
| 8 | Bunch of viking age hammers and a couple of crosses together. All based on viking age artefacts from Scandinavia | 353 |
| 9 | +5 I've worked very hard on this and I'm now proud to present a very close reproduction of the wolf cross from Foss in Iceland. Hand carved from a block of wax and cast in solid silver or bronze, to the exact scale and dimension of the original artefact in the National museum of Iceland. | 396 |
