Thistle - Acacia Cluster Pendant - Sapphire, Diamond

The Thistle Pendant | Acacia Collection

A Vision of Wild Beauty

Named in honour of Thistle Harris (1902–1990), the pioneering botanist and conservationist who championed the use of native plants in Australian gardens. Harris saw the rugged, architectural beauty in our unique flora long before it was fashionable, and this pendant celebrates that same unyielding, natural spirit.

Botanical Architecture - This design embodies the essence of biomimicry, where metal behaves like organic matter. The 9k Yellow Gold doesn't simply frame the gems; it unfurls around them like the protective sheath of a native bud or the sturdy twist of a wattle stem. The asymmetric gold work flows with a deliberate, growing energy, cradling the stones in a structure that feels simultaneously wild and refined.

The Gemstones - Anchoring the piece is a 0.84ct Australian Sapphire in a sleek Marquise cut. Its deep, midnight blue hue evokes the twilight shadows of the bushland Harris fought to protect. Contrasting against this depth are two Lab Grown Diamonds (0.07ct and 0.02ct), set like drops of rain caught in the crook of a branch, adding a piercing clarity to the moody palette. 

This pendant is a symbol of resilience and natural grace, crafted for those who find beauty in the wilder side of nature.
