The Scottish Thistle is the emblem of Scotland, adopted during the reign of Alexander the Third (1249-1286). Legend tells that an army of Norsemen landed on the coast of Largs late at night to surprise and conquer the Scots. To move more quietly, the Norsemen removed their footwear...but one hapless soldier stepped on a thistle, and cried out in pain, thus alerting the Scots who rose up and were victorious.
Our Scottish Thistle Pin/Pendant pays homage to this delightful flower, so steeped in that country's history. Measuring 2 3/8" in length and 7/8" across at its widest point, this elegant piece comes to you with a brilliant center CZ in classic clear.
Worn as a pin, it looks absolutely stunning holding a scarf or gracing the lapel of a coat or jacket. As a pendant, it makes a lovely, refined statement. This is sure to become a favorite piece in your jewelry collection.
