A powerful gift of faith as a wellness symbol to say " Stay Healthy "

“Mens sana in corpore sano” is a famous Latin expression implying “a healthy mind for a healthy body” suggesting that, in order to keep fit and healthy we need to look after more than our body: We need to look at our minds . . and our beliefs.

This health protection necklace combines the protecting symbols of the Shield with that of the Shell, to help lift the spirits and give faith to friends and loved-ones: Shells are a symbol of birth, good fortune, resurrection . . and protection. In addition, in Christianity, the scallop shell is also the symbol of salvation (as witnessed by its ceremonial use in baptism) and, of course, is also worn by Christians to show completion of the pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint James in Santiago, northern Spain.

The Shield is likewise a protector symbol, whether against actual physical harm, or for protection against bad things in general (in a symbolic way), and the so-called "Shield of Faith" is well-known in Christian theology.

Description: This Health-Shield pendant is made of highly-polished stainless-steel and is 23mm long (32mm including the hanging bail), by 25mm wide. It hangs on a stainless-steel ball chain which measures 50cm (19.5") in length - but it can easily be shortened by clipping the end of the chain where it goes into the open-clasp fitting (see image). The attached scallop shell is a bonded 14ct gold-filled charm. OPTION for SMALLER shield (possibly more suitable for Lady / Woman / Girl) - See "You may also like" below.

The concept of symbols on talismans and amulets touches on spirituality and can be seen in many icons of protection and healing around the world. In the Christian faith for example, symbols of saints, angels and the cross are relied upon for salvation from illness and poor health on a daily basis: Countless people put their trust in a symbol of faith at times of crisis to help give themselves a feeling of well being.
