A truly striking piece of gold jewellery with meaning

This exclusive 18ct gold scallop shell / concha de vieira pendant / necklace is something really special - hand-crafted by goldsmiths in Galicia, northern Spain (cerca de la ruta del Camino de Santiago). The 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, also known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish).

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 Scallop shell symbol. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

Wish your friends or loved-ones well by sending them this spectacular piece of gold jewellery. It is something really special and shows them that you really care, and how much you are thinking of them.
