In the early nineteenth century, in Edinburgh, there were on sale Luckenbooth Brooches. They were in the nature of amatory periapts. These brooches were sometimes engraved with a lover’s initials. Or a plea or an amorous inducement might appear thereon, such as:

Or:
My heart ye have and thir I creve.
I fancie non but the alon.
Wrong not the heart whose joy thou art.
