Coral is one of the most ancient of gem materials, used since prehistoric times . . especially for presents. In ancient China, Coral was a symbol of wealth, favour and high social status.

It is also believed to have protection qualities (especially for women) and so is an ideal good luck present for Mothers Day and Birthday celebrations amongst ladies, girls and women.

Gifts of Coral jewellery are ideal for lots of events like mother’s day for example, valentines day, or retirement, or going away to university . . especially for a female friend – woman / lady / girl – whether that friend, relative or loved-one is your mum or your wife, your daughter – or simply a good friend.

Coral is particularly reputed to help calm people’s lives. It is said to help restore harmony in times of emotional conflict and work against depression. It is like a wise teacher – teaching us to value life and our place in it. It shows people the importance of living, so that we can make the world a good place for all that follow. Indeed, Coral is said to protect children and is given as a lucky gift to children in many countries. It is a beautiful symbol of the importance of creatures and plants living together in harmony. Ideal lucky gift for people leading hectic lifestyles. Coral is one of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures; and Tibetan Lamas use Coral rosaries. To Buddhists, Coral is also a treasure that can keep us good and protect people from evil spirits.

Product Details

A spiritual gift for life's journey

Handcrafted by goldsmiths in Asturias, northern Spain, this lovely gold-plated sterling-silver scallop shell is the symbol of El Camino de Santiago . . and a symbol of life's journey in general.

More Camino de Santiago 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. Some 200,000 people travel this Camino each year from all over the world: 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 like this. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.




Whatever somebody’s journey - whether on El Camino itself, on holiday, a business trip, trekking, etc - or staring something new, many friends and loved-ones like to pass on a special gift to wish the recipient well . . and safekeeping on their journey through life.
