A powerful gift to wish health and wellness
“Mens sana in corpore sano” is a famous Latin expression implying “a healthy mind for a healthy body” suggesting that, in order to keep fit and healthy we need to look after more than our body: We need to look at our minds.
This health and wellness protection necklace combines the protecting symbols of the Shield with that of the Shell, to help lift the spirits and give faith to friends and loved-ones: Shells are a symbol of birth, good fortune, resurrection . . and protection. In addition, in Christianity, the scallop shell is also the symbol of salvation (as witnessed by its ceremonial use in baptism) and, of course, is also worn by people on the journey of El Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The Shield is likewise a protector symbol, whether against actual physical harm, or for protection against bad things in general (in a symbolic way): The so-called "Shield of Faith" is well-known in Christian theology.
