Nollaig Chridheil Pendant and Earring Set
Nollaig Chridheil (pronounced "Noll-ack Chree-al") is Scottish Gaelic for Merry Christmas, and this set weaves that holiday greeting into wearable Scottish heritage. Each piece features an 18K yellow gold thistle, Scotland's national flower, paired with 14K rose gold scroll spirals and a Swiss blue topaz, all framed in sterling silver. The pendant is crowned with a trinity knot bail and a silver thistle detail at the top, while the matching drop earrings carry the same thistle-and-spiral composition in a smaller scale.
DESIGN DETAILS
The pendant measures 1 3/8" × 9/16" (35mm × 15mm) and comes on an 18" sterling silver cable chain. The matching drop earrings each measure 1 3/16" × 3/8" (30mm × 10mm) on sterling silver fishhook wires. The Swiss blue topaz stones are set at 5mm.
