An impressive piece of jewellery which says " Be Safe "
. . great to take travelling, although quite large!
The shield pendant on this symbolic necklace is quite large but, engraved with the Travellers Cross © , it would also have great significance as a gift too . . perhaps for someone you feel needs a bit of extra security or protection at the moment.
The Travellers Cross © is a St James cross placed within the Scallop Shell symbol of El Camino de Santiago (one of the greatest journeys in the world).
Detail: The stainless-steel Travellers Cross pendant measures 59mm long including the hanging bail by 32mm wide. It hangs on a stainless-steel chain which is 60cm (23.5") long.

Symbolism:
The 1,000-year-old journey 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 2000,000 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 symbol of St James like this - believed to keep them safe.
