    I am absolutely in love with this pendant. The quality is phenomenal! I will definitely be buying from the shop again in the future. My only complaint about this pendant is the fact that the little ring that connects the pendant to the necklace chain isn’t soldered shut. But other than that I have no complaints at all. I’m so so so I. Love with this necklace

    So pretty! This Canadian/Scottish girl has been looking for a thistle pendant for some time. I didn't find what I was looking for in Scotland surprisingly this past autumn. I will be so happy to wear this when I go back in a few months. The pendant is exactly the same as the image.

    Very lovely little pendant. Only issue I've had is not on the creator, but the O ring that would hold the chain is too small if the chain has a ball on the end. You'll need a chain that has a flat section where the clasp connects or a smaller ball if the chain has one. Otherwise, it's beautiful!

    Beautiful reminder of my Scottish heritage, Ferguson clan, and that life is “dulcius ex asperis…sweeter after difficulties.

    Absolutely stunning. A little smaller than I expected, but it's probably because I didn't read the description closely enough. Excellent quality! Very happy with this purchase.

    Can't wait to give this to the recipient for Christmas! I love the thick silver edge of this pendant, it makes for a more substantial piece than other wax seal pendants I have seen, which is great. I love that it comes with the card that has the meaning of what is written on it.
