Known as Luckenbooth, in Scotland, they were initially sold as talismans to protect loved ones. The Georgian style witches hearts were often sentimental, and heart brooches were popular gifts. One popular style was an open heart brooch called a witch’s heart. The tail of a witch’s heart twists to the right side and is a shape that has been in use since the 15th century. Over time, they have symbolized love, loyalty, betrothal, and even protection. Tiny metal witch’s hearts were often pinned to baby’s blankets as a charm to ward off evil spirits. ——————-🔆——————🔆—————- 💠We don’t send out frequent offers so if you have your eye on this one-of-a-kind vintage item, it’s best to buy it now before it’s gone!
