Beautiful antique silver Scottish thistle bar brooch. It features a safety-pin-style bar accented by textured silver thistle heads topped with faceted glass or quartz paste gemstones—traditionally a purple amethyst and an orange-amber citrine (sometimes called cairngorm quartz). As the national flower of Scotland, the thistle motif holds deep cultural significance and is traditionally worn as a badge of honor, representing bravery, resilience, and heritage. These specific bar pins were popular from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. This is a lovely silver pin measuring 1.6" x .60".
