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 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 similar to the one on these earrings.
But, whatever somebody’s journey - whether on El Camino itself, on holiday, a business trip, a gap year, trekking, and so on, you can pass on your special wishes for peace and safekeeping with these unique earrings.
