Love is pleasure, interpersonal attraction, passionate desire and emotional closeness. It is friendship; and it can be religious: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” Bible: St. John.

Yes, love is a gift from the heart but it is incredibly difficult to define and it has many facets. What does love mean?

– The intense emotional attachment of a deep and tender affection towards another person

– The feeling of doing something for someone else solely out of compassion – with no thought for a reward

– The virtue that represents all of human kindness, compassion, and affection – the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another 

Yes, love has many meanings and we stock a range of jewellery and other gifts to cover some of these definitions; Heart jewellery, lock and key jewellery, love charm bracelets, love key charms, and so on.

But the almost universal representation of love is the symbol of the HEART. For some inexplicable reason, love comes from a place deep within us which at times appears disconnected from our brain or from logical thought. It is believed to stem from that place in our chest where our heart is pumping . . and it is an enigma. And so love heart charms and heart jewellery is very popular.

Many anemones form symbiotic relationships with single-celled algae that live within their cells
Galician love

Love is as sweet as a flower – and man cannot live without love

Yes, the symbol of the heart is understood by all – especially romantic lovers – and it is gifted a million times every day the world over. It makes a good gift to say I LOVE YOU

Nowadays passionate love can be represented by lock and key jewellery, or the lock necklace – whereby lock and key charms are used to symbolise an almost secret love connection: One half of the lock-and-key set is kept by each partner to maintain a feeling of connection even when physically apart. 

Give a friend or loved-one a piece of lock and key jewellery, and you are gifting them a piece of your fidelity. In return, you wish to (and expect to . . hopefully) hold and maintain the key to their heart. Indeed, a key chain signifies that you really are holding the key to someone’s heart.

More "Way of St. James" info:

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, or simply starting something new, many friends and loved-ones like to pass on a special gift to wish the recipient well - and success in their adventures. 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 positive. Would make a perfect farewell gift.

Gift these 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.
