- This beautiful gold collar and a pendant depicting St Andrew - the patron saint of Scotland - together form part of the insignia of the Order of the Thistle, the greatest Order of Chivalry in Scotland.

The reason why there’s enamel on the back of the links is that you need a “counter enamel” to keep from having problems where the primary enamel on the other side will crack and flake off and/or warp the piece.
James gave a collar to the Wachopes at Niddrie Merschal, but it was a thistle then a flag of St. Andrew alternating around. It was divided up and I saw about 4 links of it as a kid.
Absolutely stunning
