These sterling silver Thistle drop earrings feature a stylised thistle flower design, held between two leaves. The earrings are hand-finished in our Orkney workshop and have an overall drop length of approximately 44mm.

The thistle is Scotlands national flower, famous for its purple blooms and its sharp, prickly leaves, and has been an important symbol of Scottish heraldry for over 500 years. This collection is cast and hand-finished in our Orkney workshop, and beautifully captures the detail of the thistle in sterling silver.

Scottish Gold comes from the Cononish Gold Mine in remote hills, near the village of Tyndrum in the west of Scotland. The luxurious metal is cast and beautifully finished in the workshop in Orkney. The final piece is then tested by Edinburgh Assay Office before being hallmarked as authentic, pure Scottish Gold. All Sheila Fleet Scottish Gold jewellery is supplied in a luxury presentation box, accompanied by a unique serial number and certificate of authenticity. Mined, designed and made in Scotland.

* Please note our earring fittings are standard 18ct gold, not Scottish Gold.
