"A Luckenbooth brooch is a Scottish heart-shaped brooch. These brooches often have a crown above one heart, or two intertwined hearts. They are typically made of silver (or other metals) and may be engraved or set with stones.The name comes from the Luckenbooths of Edinburgh where jewellery and trinkets used to be sold, including this type of brooch.[1]  Luckenbooth is a Scots word for a lockable stall or workshop.[2] The Edinburgh booths were situated on the Royal Mile near St Giles Cathedral. They were the city's first permanent shops, going back to the 15th century, and initially housing mainly silversmiths and goldsmiths. They were demolished in 1817.[3]"
