Calling out lovers of all things Scottish! Our Thistle Flower Brooch - Purple & Green Enamel is sure to impress anyone with its uniquely colored appearance and symbolism. Long ago, in the land of ancient Scotland, a Viking night attack was about to happen. To walk stealthily, the Norsemen decided to go barefoot, but what they didn't know was that the Highlands were loaded with thorny flowers. One of the invaders stepped on a thistle and alerted the Scots - and, as they say, the rest is history! This Scottish thistle brooch is 1.29'', the perfect size to imbue your looks with cultural authenticity. Resistant over time, it also makes a heartwarming family heirloom or a special gift for someone dear.
