Sheila Fleet Scottish Thistle Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver

Inspired by the national emblem of Scotland, the thistle has been the protector of Scotland since the days of the Viking invaders, when their cries of pain from stepping on the native thistle with bare feet alerted the Scots to their presence. The national motto: “nemo me impune lacessit”—no one infuriates me unscathed, is believed to be inspired by the thistle. Those who carry a thistle or its symbol are said to be protected from harm. The delicate curved Sterling silver thistles hang 2" long on French wires. Earrings measure 3/8" wide. Gift boxed.Made in Scotland. Delivery may take 2-3 weeks if not in stock.
