Aquamarine is blessed with many mystical powers and, since ancient times, it has been associated with luck, happiness and courage. Primarily, it was considered sacred to the God of the sea and so travellers. It therefore is suitable as a gift for someone travelling or going on a trip – intended to give them good luck on their journey. In ancient times, it was used by the ancient Greeks, the Egyptians and Romans for this purpose, and wearing Aquamarine amulets engraved with the water god was thought to protect them when travelling overseas or on water and bring them good luck at sea and to prevent seasickness. Legend says that Aquamarine was the treasure of the mermaids. It is also referred to as the treasure of Atlantis. 

With Aquamarine jewellery gifts you can pass on your good luck blessings for several events: Someone travelling on a trip (moving abroad, for example): A happy bride at a wedding (or engagement); Or just best wishes for an Anniversary.

Aquamarine is also believed to have a soothing influence on relationships, especially marriage. Its reputed power to ensure a long and happy marriage makes Aquamarine an excellent stone to give on Anniversaries; it is the traditional gemstone for the 19th Wedding Anniversary, and lore has it that an Aquamarine is the luckiest charm for a bride, making it the perfect gift for an Engagement. It is reputed to bring good luck to couples ensuring long-lasting relationships because it evokes feelings of trust and harmony.

Product Details

An exceptional gift of inspiration

This is something special: A solid-silver keepsake box which is handcrafted in northern Spain into the shape of the scallop shell / concha de vieira, the symbol 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. At least 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 symbol shaped like this. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
