Recent scientific studies in Cologne (as well as near London, in the UK) have shown that lucky charm gifts really can help people to feel luckier. (You can download this Psychological Science Research Article (PDF) entitled “Lucky Charms Work” here.)
We have all touched wood to ward off misfortune . . or seen a bride throw a bouquet over her head at a wedding for good luck. Behind many of these actions, there is a long tradition of faith and belief. For example, the tradition of touching wood (or ‘knocking on wood’) dates back thousands of years and even these days, there are few people who will openly tempt fate. Equally, many people avoid the number 13: Indeed this floor number is often absent from the floor of a hotel or the seat number on a plane because nobody wants to book it.
Day in, day out, people pass on their good luck wishes to friends and loved-ones with a small gift such as a lucky charm; and lots of people feel more comfortable if they have their lucky charm with them (or perhaps a religious talisman like a cross).
Stage actors, public speakers, and sports athletes in particular are famous for the use of lucky amulets and charms to attract good fortune and to inspire them. Many successful businessmen too are known to put faith in good luck charms for achievement. Belief in tokens of good luck, happiness, success, prosperity, love, fertility and so on, stems from folklore, myth and legend of the past, but millions of people still believe in it today: Now, with the latest studies, they have been shown to be right.
We have a complete range of inspirational gifts to wish good luck and success that can be given to a friend or loved one as an extra special present. We all have goals, we all dream – and, with a bit of good luck and probably a lot of effort we can all achieve our goals.
So . . lots of people use a good luck charm, amulet or talisman, or put faith in an emblem, token or symbol such as the Christian cross or other religious talisman. They genuinely believe it will help protect them, bring them good fortune and prosperity . . and help them to succeed in their goals.
Scientifically, it has been shown that this goal achievement occurs because the good luck charm or gift increases a person’s belief in themselves: It is now undeniable that the use of symbols, lucky talismans, and good luck charms in general, effects a lot of people.
Why not pass on your own good luck wishes . . inspirational thoughts and emotions, to help the achievement motivation of a friend or colleague for their special event, goal or occasion – with one of our uniquely-designed good luck gifts / presents. Make them feel inspired and help them be more lucky, happy, more loved, more appreciated and secure . . so their dreams can come true – helping them to Achieve their Goals (such as Losing Weight, Quitting Smoking, etc), to succeed at Public Speaking or Presentations, to have success in business and with Important Meetings . . or simply to wish them the Best of Luck and to say Have a Lucky Day!

Whatever someone’s event, occasion or situation in life – we have a gift for luck:
Scallop shell earrings to wish safekeeping, especially for travellers
These delicate scallop shells (concha de vieira) represent the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. The 1,000-year-old route to the great Cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela is known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish), and it is a renowned journey and adventure, as well as being a pilgrimage for some people of the Christian faith.
:)- Gift-Wrapped
:)- Optional information card (see photo) about El Camino / Santiago (FREE)
:)- Personal message can be added
:)- Rapid shipping
If you want to wish your friends or colleagues well and show them how much you care (especially for someone travelling), let us send this meaningful present on your behalf. It is the ideal gift for any special event / occasion, particularly for someone starting out on a new adventure in life - like a new job, travelling afar or even beginning retirement.
Dimensions: These beautiful little 14ct Gold-Filled Camino earrings feature a dainty double scallop shell which measures 12mm across. They hang on 14ct Gold-Filled 14mm ear-wires.
Is Gold-Filled the same as Gold-Plated / Vermeil?
No, it is much better: Gold-Filled is a layer of solid gold, pressure-bonded into another metal. Whereas Gold-Plating is a very thin layer of gold that is 'plated' onto the surface of a metal. (Vermeil just means that the plated item is made of silver: Nothing more; it is still just Gold-Plated.) So, Gold-Filled has a much higher value than simple Gold-Plating or Vermeil because it contains a much greater quantity of gold; and is of higher quality because of the way that gold is included: Once termed “Rolled-Gold” it has a long history - although the modern process wasn't patented until Victorian times in England. It is much more precious and tarnish-resistant than Gold-Plated / Vermeil: It does not rub off or flake or change colour.
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. At least 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 like this. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
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 the way. These earrings are perfect for that purpose. In addition to any value that the Camino charm symbol has in itself, or the religious faith that it might represent, these earrings can also act as a reminder to be careful when travelling. And this can be a powerful aid to staying safe whilst away from home. Would make a perfect farewell gift.
Gift these pretty little scallop shell earrings to tell your friends and loved-ones that you are thinking of them or that you'll miss them, and to take care . . it's a really meaningful gift. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
