This St James of Compostela CAMINO bracelet is quite unique. The Parisian scallop shell chain has been plated to match the 18K gold vermeil medal of St James of Compostela. The reverse of the medal is a large scallop shell. The shell chain is laced with freshwater pearls and genuine turquoise.

SCALLOP SHELL, often found on the shores of Galacia, has long been the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. The scallop shell also acts as a metaphor. The grooves in the shell, which meet at a single point, represent the variouus routes pilgrims traveled, eventually arriving at a single destination: the tomb of St James the apostle in Santiago de Compostela.
