A traveller's companion for strength . . and protection

Our Red Jasper scallop shell necklace makes an ideal present for someone about to embark on a journey, or undertake a new venture. Red Jasper is a protective gemstone and believed to promote courage and physical stamina. The scallop shell is the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. 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). Some 200,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from all over the world to find inspiration and/or deeper spiritual understanding.

The 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 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 Scallop Shell symbol like this. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

Gift this truly meaningful scallop shell and jasper necklace to inspire your friends and help them to be strong and safeguarded in their life or on their trip. A wonderful Camino gift. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
