Scottish Thistle Pendant with Amethyst Coloured Stone

From the Scottish Thistle collection, this small and elegant pendant is designed and made in Scotland, inspired by the national flower and set with a sparkling Amethyst stone. Expertly crafted from genuine 925 sterling silver, it captures the beauty of the thistle, with its striking purple hue and distinctive spiky leaves, a symbol found growing wild across the Scottish landscape for centuries. According to legend, the thistle became Scotland’s emblem in 1263 AD, when a Norse invader’s cry of pain—after stepping on one of its sharp thorns—alerted the Scots to an attempted night attack, leading them to victory. Today, the thistle remains a proud emblem of Scotland, seen everywhere from national sports team crests to official badges. This pendant comes with a 16–18 inch adjustable sterling silver chain and is presented in a quality jewellery box. Measuring approximately 20mm by 12mm, it makes a meaningful gift or keepsake for anyone who cherishes Scotland.
