This Thistle pendant necklace in rare and exclusive 18ct yellow Scottish Gold features an intricate thistle design that delicately drops from a gold chain. The pendant piece measures approximately 12mm by 30mm*.
The thistle is Scotland’s national flower, famous for its purple blooms and its sharp, prickly leaves, and has been an important symbol of Scottish heraldry for over 500 years. This collection is cast and hand-finished in our Orkney workshop, and beautifully captures the detail of the thistle in 9ct yellow gold.
Scottish Gold comes from the Cononish Gold Mine in remote hills, near the village of Tyndrum in the west of Scotland. The luxurious metal is cast and beautifully finished in the Sheila Fleet Jewellery workshop in Orkney. The final piece is then tested by Edinburgh Assay Office before being hallmarked as authentic, pure Scottish Gold. All Sheila Fleet Scottish Gold jewellery is supplied in a luxury presentation box, accompanied by a unique serial number and certificate of authenticity. Mined, designed and made in Scotland.
* Please note our pendant chains are standard 18ct gold, not Scottish Gold. Pendants can be ordered without chains by special request.
