This product data sheet is originally written in English.


This stunning pendant is rhodium plated and made into the shape of the Scottish thistle. The pendant is inlayed with stunning Paua shell.

The Paua Shell. The shellfish (haliotis iris) used by Ariki, although part of the abalone family, is unique to New Zealand's environmentally pure coastal waters. The Paua is renowned throughout the world not only for its beautiful shell.

The famous Scottish Thistle is the national flower and emblem of Scotland. It has been an important symbol of Scottish heraldry for over 500 years and also represents one of the highest honours the country can give an individual. Founded by James III in 1687, the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle is an order of chivalry which is bestowed to those who have made an outstanding contribution to the life of Scotland and the greater United Kingdom.

Thistles are found growing everywhere in Scotland but the insignia emblem of the Thistle can be seen all over Scotland, from the strip of the international rugby team and football clubs, to local businesses and major organisations and corporations, to the uniforms of police officers.

One legend tells of a sleeping party of Scots warriors that were saved from ambush by an invading Norse army when one of the enemies trod on a spikey Thistle. His painful cry woke the warriors who duly vanquished the invaders and adopted the thistle as their national symbol.

As this shell is found in a number of colors, it represents the beauty of life, which is 'change' that we experience every day. It is a common Maori practice to gift paua shells to one another. This shell is known to bring good luck, prosperity, and peace to the wearer.

The pendant itself measures approximately 3cm/1.18" in diameter x 0.4cm/0.16" in depth.

Each pendant comes with an 46cm/18" rhodium plated chain, and comes beautifully presented in a gift box.
