The range was officially launched in December 1970. Colin Terris designed a range of brooches and pendants inspired by traditional Scottish designs (such as the Luckenbooth shape) and hired Lucia Polanski as jewellery designer; she produced the sterling silver rings, earrings, and cufflinks designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39672123392064,"sku":"Sold for £45","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/vintage-1970s-paul-ysart-scottish-pendant-with-tiny-millefiori-caithness-glass-paperweight-inclusion-silver-necklace-480.webp?v=1781469486","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1970s-scottish-solid-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-pendant-3","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
