Scottish Thistle Silver Pendant with Marcasite & Amethyst colour stone

Description From our Scottish Thistle collection, this dainty pendant was designed based on the national flower of Scotland, decorated with beautiful sparkling Marcasite and Amethyst stones. For centuries, Thistles have been commonly found growing wild in rural areas all over Scotland and are particularly unique to spot with their bright purple heads and spiky leaves.

Today, the Thistle still remains a proud image of honour for Scotland, with it’s recognised symbol and purple colour used everywhere, from the Scottish Rugby and Football team logos to the Police badge and other Scottish Business branding.
