Thistle Pendant – Scottish Heritage Jewellery | Kolié

Product Info

A Statement of Scottish Pride

For those who carry Scotland in their heart, this Thistle Pendant is a bold declaration of heritage. Significantly larger and heavier than our classic small charm, this piece is designed to be the centrepiece of your necklace stack. Designed in our Edinburgh studio, it features intricate, deep-relief detailing that captures the wild beauty of Scotland's national flower — a timeless symbol of resilience and strength.

Available in four variants: 9ct Solid Yellow Gold Thistle Pendant, 14ct Solid Yellow Gold Thistle Pendant, 18ct Gold Vermeil Thistle Pendant, and 925 Sterling Silver Thistle Pendant — so you can choose the material that suits your style and budget perfectly.

Please Note: This listing is for the Pendant Only. Chains are sold separately.

Why You'll Love It

Choose Your Material: Whether you opt for the timeless warmth of solid gold, the lustrous finish of 18ct gold vermeil, or the cool elegance of sterling silver — every version is crafted with the same attention to detail and finished to the highest standard.
