A truly unique gift with special meaning for a man (or boy) - hand-crafted by artisans in northern Spain

Azabache or 'jet' is notoriously difficult to work with and so Azabacheros (carvers of Azabache) have worked closely with silversmiths in Asturias, Northern Spain, to create these beautiful pieces of jewellery with meaning.

The hand-carved Azabache/Jet and sterling-silver cufflinks are in the form of the Concha de Vieira - the scallop shell of El Camino de Santiago . . which runs through Asturias in north Spain into Galicia and onwards to Santiago de Compostela (the 'field of stars').

It is said that: "Jet purifies and protects", and in Spain it is known as "la piedra mágica" (the magic stone). It originates from the Jurassic period on earth, some 65 million years ago, in the forests of the northern hemisphere - particularly in northern Europe, and jewellery featuring Jet (Azabache in Spanish) makes an ideal gift for someone starting a new phase in their life: Jet jewellery is said to offer protection and good fortune, and neutralise negative energy to help protect people from fear and indecision. Specialist Azabacheros and "grabadores compostelanos" (who have trained over generations in northern-east Spain) have hand-made these rare cufflinks.

Pilgrims and other visitors to Santiago de Compostela especially like these cufflinks as a souvenir.
