Description: Offered here is a lovely vintage Scottish agate and sterling silver thistle brooch. The white lace agates are stunning set in the sterling silver brooch. The thistle is Scotland's national flower. An invading Norse army came across a group of sleeping Scottish soldiers. They took off their boots to better sneak up on the resting soldiers. One of the Norse invaders stepped on a thistle and yelled loudly in pain.This woke up the Scottish soldiers and saved the day! I don't know if it is true, but it is a great story. The brooch is well-made with beautifully detailed leaves. This beauty measures 2 in. and weighs 8g. Based on construction, it is vintage to the 1920s-30s. It is marked sterling just under the clasp. I also tested it and guarantee that it is sterling silver. The brooch is in good vintage condition with light wear. The agates are secure and have no chips or cracks. The silver has patina, which proves its age. Vintage Scottish sterling silver and agate brooch in the shape of a thistle.
