The 1,000-year-old Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish), criss-crosses Western Europe to arrive in Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain, and is one of the world's great adventures. Some 200,000 people make this journey every 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 Camino Shell symbol similar to the charm on this bracelet.
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 this unique bracelet.
Dimensions: This beautiful and eye-catching bracelet is made of a variety of Sodalite gemstone beads threaded onto a tough blue cord, and features a sterling-silver scallop shell charm (13 x 12mm). The bracelet measures approx 7ins but is completely adjustable, so suitable for most wrist sizes. [Because Sodalite is a natural stone, colours can and do vary a bit.]

Give them your support with this beautiful sodalite and scallop shell bracelet - a unique piece of meaningful jewelry and a wonderful gift for life's Camino.
