The purple Thistle is the national emblem of Scotland. When warring Norsemen attempted to surprise a Scottish encampment by traveling across thistle covered land during a night attack all mayhem enthused! The resulting cries alerted the Scots and the attack was thwarted. The Thistle became a national symbol with the motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" - translating as "What dares meddle with me?"

This Thistle pendant is oval in shape and the detail is exquisite. It is designed by Sea Gems and is handcrafted in .925 sterling silver. Several chain options are available. Matching earrings are available - NHI9718
