. . a unique gift to urge care and safety on a journey

These lovely little sterling-silver earrings feature the Cross of St James (Cruz de Santiago) - with a tiny Scallop shell handcrafted onto the face - originating from Galicia, northern Spain.

The 1,000-year-old Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish), criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain on the Atlantic coast. Some 200,000 people travel the Camino each year from all over the world: Some people walk, others travel by bike. Many travellers choose to do the Camino for personal, rather than any spiritual or religious reasons - taking time out from their busy/modern lives and perhaps finding inspiration along the way, whilst reflecting on their life in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a St James Cross or Scallop shell as depicted on these earrings. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
