Reflecting both Scottish and Celtic sensibilities, this ring features interwoven thistles surrounded by thistle leaves around the entire ring. The ring is solid, and each ring is made specifically to the size of the wearer so that the thistle design is proportional to the finger. Unbroken and organic, this design embodies the timeless tradition of the Scots in a modern motif!
The thistle has been an enduring symbol of Scotland and Scottish heritage for hundreds of years. According to a legend, an invading Norse army was attempting to sneak up at night upon a Scottish army's encampment. During this operation one barefoot Norseman had the misfortune to step upon a thistle, causing him to cry out in pain, thus alerting Scots to the presence of the Norse invaders. The thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland since the reign of Alexander III and was used on silver coins. It is also used to symbolize connection with Scotland overseas. For example, in Canada, it is one of the four floral emblems on the flag of Montreal; in the US, Carnegie Mellon University features the thistle in its crest in honor of the Scottish heritage of its founder, Andrew Carnegie.
