A sweet and beautifully made antique pendant in sterling silver, worked in the form of a heart with a finely detailed thistle set within — a classic motif in antique Scottish jewellery, combining the universal symbol of love with Scotland's national emblem. The thistle detailing is crisp and well-executed, with the natural form of the flower rendered with genuine skill.
A charming piece that carries both sentimental and national symbolism — equally at home worn as an everyday pendant or given as a meaningful gift.
Lovely antique condition. Thistle detailing is crisp and well-defined. Silver retains a good colour throughout.
A lovely little antique silver pendant with real character and sentiment — a timeless design executed with care and skill.
