Camino shell necklace - filigree, gold vermeil

A travel gift - or for starting something new

This is something really unique: Finely crafted by goldsmiths in Asturias, northern Spain, this beautiful gold-plated sterling-silver Camino de Santiago necklace features a scallop shell surrounded by an ornate filigree border.

The scallop shell is symbolic of The Way Of St James - the 1,000-year-old route to Santiago de Compostela, one of the greatest journeys in the world.

Would make an ideal gift for someone setting out on a special journey . . or on a new adventure in their life like a new job, a new beginning, or even getting married or starting retirement.

Detail: The scallop shell pendant measures 30mm in diameter (or 37mm in length including the hanging bail) hung on a fine tan-coloured double cord of 44cm (17") long. We also sell this scallop shell hanging on a substantial 18" gold-plated trace chain. Please choose in OPTIONS box.

Symbolism:

The Scallop Shell of El Camino is representative of a journey, reminding us of travelling itself and of the destination or goal - ideal when going on an adventure or starting something new
