They believed that much of their life was controlled by evil spirits. Anything they could do to ward off those spirits was wise. They felt that those evil spirits were particularly active during rites of passage, such as weddings, so it was important to use good luck charms to keep the bride and groom safe on their wedding day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the early 1600's it was customary for the Lord of the Manor to give his bride a piece of silver as a wedding gift. This was symbolically represented by a sixpence coin. It later became a tradition to include a sixpence in the dowry that was given by the bride's family to the groom. That tradition of the sixpence as a symbol of good luck continues today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome families have passed down the same sixpence through the generations to continue the hope for good luck to future brides. Today that lucky sixpence tradition has grown to include retirements, births, new homes, birthday because...well, why not! A little extra luck is always a welcome thing!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from oak veneered wood, Ribbon, Polyviscose tartan, card, and gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct size:\u003cbr\u003eH: 3\" W: 3 1\/2\" D 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic Crystal Design Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Royal Stewart","offer_id":48136169816234,"sku":"LTC7-Royal Stewart","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Isle of Skye","offer_id":48136169849002,"sku":"LTC7-Isle of Skye","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey Granite","offer_id":48136169881770,"sku":"LTC7-Grey Granite","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turquoise Grey","offer_id":48136169914538,"sku":"LTC7-Turquoise Grey","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2008\/3626\/files\/il_fullxfull.5348023640_hlln.jpg?v=1774224663","url":"https:\/\/mammothnation.com\/products\/tartan-highland-cow-lucky-sixpence-ornament","provider":"Mammoth Nation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
