Round Fob with Thistles and Laurels -- 3OS
$350.00
The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom includes a thistle, symbolically representing Scotland.
Legend has it that invading armies attempted to sneak up on a Scottish encampment one night -- barefoot -- to keep their approach quiet. One intruder had the misfortune of stepping on the spines of a thistle, causing him to shout out and thus alerting the Scots to the impending attack.
This necklace, which has a beautiful Scottish thistle incorporated in the fob pendant, can be your very own talisman of protection.
7mm gray baroque pearls wrapped with small labradorite satellites. Antique English sterling fob, oval shape with laurels. c. 1905. Necklace measures 19" long, fob 1-3/8" tall, not including bail at the top.
