Scottish Thistle Brooch Silver Circa 1960

Product Details

This beautiful Sterling Silver Scottish Thistle brooch is Circa 1960.

Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria as it became a souvenir of her frequent trips to Scotland and her Scottish Castle Balmoral from the mid 1800s.

Two beautiful glass stones are set into the Silver Thistle gallery simulating the bright orange glow of the Scottish Cairngorm stone.

The Thistle is the national flower of Scotland and has been a symbol of strength, protection and unity within the country throughout history.

Hallmarked Mizpah on the reverse too!

Mizpah is a name from the Bible. As Laban said, The Lord watch between you and me, when we are absent one from the other.... remember, God is witness between you and me. It is for this reason that Mizpah has often been interpreted as signifying an emotional bond between people who are separated, either physically by distance or by death.

A truly wonderful Scottish piece that looks fabulous when worn.

Weighs 13.6 grams.

Measures 50mm across x 50mm down.
