Celebrate the ageless Scottish traditions with our exquisite Thistle Flower of Scotland Pendant in Sterling Silver! Known as "the flower of Scotland," the thistle has served as the nation's emblem since Alexander III's reign in 1249–1286, making it one of the most enduring Scottish symbols.
Ever present in fields and pastures throughout Scotland, this colorful thorny flower is imbued with cultural meaning. According to legend, a sleeping party of Scottish warriors was saved from a night ambush by an invading Norse army when one of the attackers stepped on a thistle with his bare feet. His cries alerted the Scots who defeated the invaders. Since then, the thistle has been regarded as a representation of resilience, bravery, and determination.
The pendant and chain are crafted from sterling silver, a precious metal with remarkable luster and durability. Our pieces are lifetime guarantees due to their increased strength and resistance to rust, which makes them ideal for passing down as a family heirloom. The dimensions of this Scottish thistle pendant are approximately ½ " in width by ¾ " in height, and the Spiga style chain is 18", the perfect sizes for both casual and formal wear.
The dazzling piece of jewelry makes a thoughtful gift for any occasion, symbolizing a strong, ever-lasting love that can withstand any hardship.
