Sheila Fleet Scottish Thistle Stud 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. Sheila Fleet designed these small round thistle stud earrings in the traditional manner. Earrings measure 1/2" in diameter. Gift boxed. Made in Scotland. Delivery may take 2-3 weeks if not in stock.
