Featuring a 5mm (1/2 carat) emerald held delicately in place by two adjoining thistles, this ring represents the fusion of Scottish heritage and modern engagement rings. With the stems of each thistle woven together, the ring is emblematic of the union of eternal love and the interweaving of marriage. This ring is made to last a lifetime, and created in the tradition of rings meant to represent great devotion and bliss.
We can make this ring with different-sized stones, or different types of stones upon request.
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.
Each ring is cast in solid sterling silver, and we offer different finishing options. The finishes used in the photos are brushed with patina followed by polished without patina. Please choose finishes from the drop-down menu.
Cast in solid sterling silver, these rings are made of 100% recycled metal. All stones are conflict-free, and we personally choose all of our own stones to ensure quality. We polish these rings but can put a brushed finish on these rings upon request.
