Description

This vintage scallop shell can symbolise courage, strength and a sense of hope. Historically, the scallop shell has been a sign of pilgrimage and a symbol of protection for travellers in the form of the renowned Camino De Santiago, a path that dates back over 800 years to the shrine of the apostle James. Pilgrims take on the Camino de Santiago for many reasons, including religious, personal, or for its rewarding challenge. Scallop shells were worn as a sign of Camino de Santiago's pilgrimage for centuries. They have strong associations with Greek goddess Aphrodite, Roman goddess Venus, and Goddess Juno. The shells were also used in religious ceremonies in Ancient Greece and worn by brides, while Celtic folklore believed it could ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. Moreover, they have long been seen as a symbol of safe return from battle or a journey. The scallop shell is also our emblem!

This charm can be worn as either a charm or a necklace.

FAQ

Do you offer layaway? Can I pay in instalments?

Yes! We have different ways of doing layaways.

Paypal is most popular or via bank transfer. We try to be as flexible as possible, so if you tell us what you need, we will agree the layaway terms on a case by case basis with you.

We usually offer a PayPal invoice over the period of 3 months, but can happily extend to 6 months if needed. We do not charge interest for instalment payments. Paypal invoice allows you to pay a partial payment whenever is convenient for you.


A 20% up front, non refundable, deposit is required to hold the item, and this counts towards the item total. Payment is then made over the following weeks and the final payment must be made by the agreed end date.

Please note, items bought on layaway are returnable, but the deposit is non refundable. Items are shipped once payment is completed. If payment is not made within the agreed time frame, we will try to work with you to agree a solution, but reserve the right to refund your money (bar the deposit) and re-list the item Please contact us directly to discuss further.

Does it come with a certificate?

Yes, we provide a Parkin & Gerrish certificate with your purchase.

All of our jewellery is checked and examined in house by Zuleika who is a professional gemologist and a FGA (Fellow of the Gemmology Association) and DGA (Diamond Member of the Gemmological Association).
The Parkin & Gerrish certificate is perfect to give to your insurance company along with a copy of the invoice. Please note, the certificate we provide is not a gemological certificate.


Some of our higher end jewellery will come with accredited gemological/diamond certification from a lab. If it does, it will be mentioned in the description. If it has not been lab certified, it is possible to provide such a certificate from a reputable London gemological lab. There is an additional non refundable charge for this, approximately £80 - 120 + VAT. Please get in touch with us to find out more.
