A gift for inspiration for someone on a new journey
Hand-crafted by goldsmiths in Galicia, close to Santiago de Compostela on the northern Iberian peninsular, this pretty, openwork, matte gold-plated sterling-silver scallop shell (concha de vieira) represents the symbol of the Camino de Santiago - one of the greatest journeys in the world.

More info about "El Camino" :
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 to the city 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 lives in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a Scallop shell symbol. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
But, whatever somebody’s journey - whether on El Camino itself, on holiday, a business trip, a gap year, trekking, etc, many friends and loved-ones like to pass on a special gift to wish the recipient well on their travels - and safekeeping along life's journey.
Gift this lovely openwork scallop shell necklace to tell your friends and loved-ones that you are thinking of them . . it's a really meaningful gift. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
