Thistle Charm Sterling Silver | Scottish Charms | Made in USA

Scotland's national flower, the thistle, cast in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA. At 2.5 grams and measuring a full 1" x 1", this is one of the larger charms in the collection.

Lost-wax casting captures the thistle's complex form: the spiny leaves, the bulbous head, and the crown of petals that bristle outward. Hand-finishing brings contrast between the textured leaves and the polished highlights.

The thistle has been Scotland's emblem since the 13th century, when legend says a Norse invader stepped on one barefoot and cried out, alerting the Scots to a night attack. The Order of the Thistle remains Scotland's highest honor.

A must-have for anyone with Scottish heritage, Celtic art enthusiasts, Outlander fans, or gardeners who respect a plant that fights back. Sterling silver jump ring included and attached.
