14kt gold filled scallop shell • cultured freshwater pearls

Length: 1in, 7x7mm pearl, 10x13mm scallop shell

-----

The Scallop Shell is a symbol of good luck and is believed to relieve stress by offering a protective shield. Due to their association with the sea, which connects distant places and people, the scallop shell is believed to enhance travel luck and strengthen long distance relationships by connecting those who are apart. 

The scallop shell is also the symbol most closely associated with the Camino de Santiago in Spain which honors the Apostle St. James. Legend has it that during the celebration of a wedding, the groom mounted a horse and threw himself into the sea to show his love to his wife. Overwhelmed by a strong wave, however, everyone thought that he would not survive.

On the contrary, he managed to emerge together with his horse, covered with scallop shells that had protected him. A few days after this event, the remains of the Apostle Saint James, would arrive by sea to the Galician coast.

As a symbol of faith and gratefulness for this miracle, the man made a pilgrimage to Santiago with a scallop shell.

Gold filled jewelry is tarnish-resistant and can be worn all the time. It serves as a cost effective alternative to pure gold jewelry without sacrificing quality and durability. Despite its name, gold filled jewelry refers to a process in which a layer of karat gold is heat- and pressure- bonded to a layer of base metal. This process keeps the metal tarnish resistant because it completely covers the surface of the base metal. Gold filled jewelry can be 10kt, 14kt, 18kt, 22kt, and 24kt. It looks like solid gold since its outermost layer is actually gold, however, it is a harder, more durable, and less expensive option than solid gold. Compared to gold plating or vermeil, gold filled jewelry contains 100% more gold, it is generally safe for wearers with allergies to common metals, and it is tarnish resistant. Gold is generally a soft metal; therefore, it should be worn with care to avoid bending, dents, and scratches.

Why choose gold filled?

If you want high quality jewelry that you can wear all the time without the high price of solid gold, gold filled jewelry is your best option. Gold filled jewelry is not as common among larger jewelry companies because it cannot be manufactured or cast. Each piece of jewelry must be carefully made by hand and is therefore more difficult and more expensive to make. Here at CLD, we feel it is worth it to go the extra mile to create high quality jewelry that WE want to wear and are OBSESSED with. We hope you will feel the same :)
