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":56230834536827,"sku":"Pink Drawers in Yellow Room","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/boxed-vintage-1970s-silver-hallmarked-cross-shaped-brooch-with-caithness-glass-paperweight-miniature-scottish-jewellery-107.webp?v=1781484132","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1970s-silver-hallmarked-cross-shaped-brooch-with-caithness-glass-paperweight-miniature-copy","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
