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:
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.
Do you want to encourage a friend or loved-one along their spiritual journey through life, or give them something really special as a reminder of their goals and achievements? Let us send these exquisite sterling silver and Azabache scallop shell cufflinks on your behalf to show them how much you care.

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 the Camino 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 life in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a Scallop Shell symbol like the ones on these cufflinks. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
Description: These special sterling-silver and black jet cufflinks are in the shape of the scallop shell / concha de vieira, the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. Shell measures approx 13 x 13mm and the cufflinks close with a hinge.

Azabache Jet is popular in jewellery for people seeking a new start in life or a new beginning - for example, after a divorce or relational break-up, or after a loss of some kind. We have also seen it gifted to people embarking on a new career or starting a new job, in order to wish good luck and success in their 'new' life.
Gift these handcrafted and inspirational scallop shell cufflinks to inspire your menfolk. Also suitable as a present for a Christian event like Easter / Christmas, Confirmation and First Communion. Ships gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
