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

A golden gift for life's Camino

Handcrafted by goldsmiths in Asturias, northern Spain, this gold-plated sterling-silver open cross bears the symbolic scallop shell of the Camino de Santiago.

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 the Camino 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 life in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a Scallop Shell as depicted on this cross. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
