The range was officially launched in December 1970. Colin Terris designed a range of brooches and pendants inspired by traditional Scottish designs (such as the Luckenbooth shape) and hired Lucia Polanski as jewellery designer; she produced the rings, earrings, and cufflinks designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39877251924032,"sku":"Sold for £65","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/vintage-1972-scottish-solid-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-brooch-luckenbooth-heart-crown-shape-necklace-104.webp?v=1783346765","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1972-scottish-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-brooch-luckenbooth","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
