In Scottish history, during a war between the Scottish and the Vikings of Denmark, the Vikings attempted make a surprise attack on the Scots, but one of them stepped on a thistle with a bare foot, causing him to cry out in pain and alerting the Scots to their presence.
Since this episode, the plant became known as the "Guardian Thistle" and can now be found on Scottish coins, banknotes, stamps, and broadswords.
It is a symbol of courage, bravery, and loyalty in the face of treachery. The plant has tough, painful thorns that suggest resolution, determination, and endurance. Its bright pink or purple color represents royalty and nobility, also nobility of character.
These lovely earrings feature a thistle flower made out of Celtic knots. The flower itself has much smaller and detailed knots that add to the complexity of its look.
