It is believed that Noah hung a huge Garnet to illuminate the night and help steer his Ark to safety: So, travellers started wearing Garnet to light up their journey and to get protection from accidents. Garnet has been used by many explorers and travellers as it is believed to protect the wearer when journeying far from home. In particular, they were worn by the Crusaders as an aid to safely bring them home and to protect them from harm. A Garnet gem stone is often gifted to a loved-one to pass on good luck for their journey, and to someone trying to achieve goals.

With gifts of Garnet jewellery, you can pass on your blessings for many occurrences: To someone travelling (moving abroad, for example), a relative about to enter a competition, a driving test or other exam, or even as a a good luck gift for a business friend.

Garnet is also thought of as the stone of romantic love and passion, enhancing sensuality and intimacy. Although said to be more of a feminine life force and for women’s needs, Garnet is also believed to encourage a quick return of a separated love. Garnets are often gifted to women when they fall in love, and so as Engagement presents. The myth is that the Garnet, as a symbol of truth and purity, will secure someone’s love forever.

Product Details

This really delicate scallop shell necklace (concha de vieira) represents the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. The 1,000-year-old route to the great Cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela is known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish).

If you want to wish your friends or colleagues well and show them how much you care, let us send this meaningful present on your behalf. It is the ideal gift for any special event / occasion, particularly for someone starting out on a new adventure in life - like a new job, travelling afar or even beginning retirement.

Dimensions: The beautiful little 14ct Gold-Filled Camino necklace features a double scallop shell which measures 17mm in length (including the hanging ring) by 12mm in width. It is very dainty and hangs on a fine, light-weight 14ct Gold-Filled trace chain of 16 inches - or a longer 18 inches (Please choose in Options box)


Is Gold-Filled the same as Gold-Plated / Vermeil?

No, it is much better: Gold-Filled is a layer of solid gold, pressure-bonded into another metal. Whereas Gold-Plating is a very thin layer of gold that is 'plated' onto the surface of a metal. (Vermeil just means that the plated item is made of silver: Nothing more; it is still just Gold-Plated.) So, Gold-Filled has a much higher value than simple Gold-Plating or Vermeil because it contains a much greater quantity of gold; and is of higher quality because of the way that gold is included: Once termed “Rolled-Gold” it has a long history - although the modern process wasn't patented until Victorian times in England. It is much more precious and tarnish-resistant than Gold-Plated / Vermeil: It does not rub off or flake or change colour.

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. 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 Scallop shells like these. 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, etc, many friends and loved-ones like to pass on a special gift to wish the recipient well on their travels - and safekeeping along the way. This necklace is 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, this necklace can also act as a reminder to be careful when travelling. And this can be a powerful aid to staying safe whilst away from home. Would make a perfect Farewell gift.

Gift this pretty scallop shell necklace 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.
