Three Symbols of Promise: Luckenbooth, Claddagh and Lovespoon
Share
Three symbols, three places, one shared idea.
The Celtic Wedding collection brings together three traditional emblems associated with love, loyalty and commitment. Drawn from Scotland, Ireland and Wales, each symbol developed within its own culture, yet all arrived at remarkably similar themes.
Each symbol has been redrawn for engraving, retaining its recognisable structure while adapting line weight, detail and composition for glass.
The Scottish Luckenbooth
Among Scotland's best-known love tokens, the Luckenbooth has long been associated with courtship, marriage and protection. Traditionally sold from the locked booths of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, its familiar form combines two hearts beneath a crown.
The engraved design combines the two hearts and crown with a stag motif at its centre.

The Welsh Lovespoon
The Welsh lovespoon transformed an everyday object into a personal expression of affection. Traditionally carved by hand, many examples incorporated symbols intended to convey meaning between giver and recipient.
The engraved design combines knotwork, daffodils, a key and keyhole, with the Welsh dragon woven into the design.
The Irish Claddagh
The Claddagh remains one of Ireland's most enduring symbols.
Hands represent friendship. The heart represents love. The crown represents loyalty.
The engraved design retains the familiar arrangement of hands, heart and crown, with shamrock detail beneath the central motif.
The three designs come from different traditions, but each uses a familiar symbolic language centred on love, loyalty and commitment.
