A spectacular piece of jewellery with meaning - said to promote strength and hope

This stunning sterling-silver cross is hand-crafted by specialist silversmiths in Galicia, northern Spain. It is the Cross of St James (Cruz de Santiago) - with an additional concha scallop shell hand-crafted onto the face. “La Cruz de Santiago es un símbolo que favorece el coraje y la esperanza ante las dificultades”

The 1,000-year-old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish). Over 200,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from all over the world to find inspiration and/or deeper spiritual understanding. Many carry with them a St James's Cross - believed to promote strength and hope.

The Way of St. James criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. It is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. Modern pilgrims choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and/or religious reasons - or simply to take time out from their busy, modern lives. For many, the walk is to find inspiration - improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other pilgrims. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

Would make a spectacular gift for a someone with Christian beliefs. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
